Thanks.
The AI has never known how to use a bless effectively, so you can't ever count on it doing that. It will tend to go for a quantity of lesser troops over a quality of high end troops if the cost differences are big, but it gets markedly better still.
Picking the right nations to oppose you with BI will lead to really brutal games. The EA especially is bad. Choose one of the weaker nations, throw in Ulm, Ermor, Vanheim, Helheim, Tir na n'Og, Marverni, Hinnom, Agartha and C'tis as the opponents on a big map like Glory of the Gods and see what happens. Putting supplies at 150% will also give the AI a bit of a boost as it will not starve so easily and research to difficult so you don't get powerful magic too soon. You'll be in for a rough time.
I lose more games with that setup than I win, even when playing co-op with a friend, because the AI will simply roll over you if you don't get to a flying start.
