I am sure there are simple solutions to improve AI skill and it wouldn't be so much work to do, for example:

- make AI choose scales and pretenders somewhat wisely
- make AI recognize geographically strategic provinces
- stop AI from using extremely stupid ideas like hordes of indies with C'tis miasma
the first item we can already do ourselves with maps and mods

the second thing needs more defining. Some people would say "build a castle in a choke point then dont take the neighboring provinces" but others would say "stupid AI built a castle on a chokepoint that only had 3 neighbors"

last item is out completely. There is only one AI and it builds its armies the same for all nations. The thinking must be something like "build x infantry, build x archers, build x mounted, build 1 commander or mage". And now you want "unless you are ctis with miasma then build". But then we end up with lots of "unless you are" all through the code. That would be a lot of work. And it would really slow the game down for solo playing
