Sombre said:LA Ermor and Rlyeh do well with the AI, that's true. Especially with no indies via map or mod. I think LA Ermor might have a special AI though.

I know in SP games, the issue seems to be less "AI does well as Ermor" and more "AI does very badly fighting against Ermor." Therefore, the AI Ermor consumes all its neighbors easily and grows to enormous size.

Why do we think the AI does well with EA Niefel? It can't use thugs or a bless strat, so it would seem odd it is successful with Niefel, yet it does appear to be. It consistently does well with Jotunheim too.

AI does well with nations that have big tough troops. Powerful troops like the Jotuns allow a nation to be effective without having to rely on blesses/summons/crazy tactics/crazy combos that the AI does less well. Remember that a higher difficulty setting gives gold bonuses to the AI, which skews its effectiveness even further towards Massive Army Power.
