Dunno what you base this on, I've often found the AI send the Manticore or others on my way together with an army, surely sometimes non-optimally scripted (i.e. sometimes just put on casting offensive spells in the first turns) but generally I've had more than decent results.

More than letting the AI design its Dragon with 3 magic paths at 8, and than starving his neverending armies of militia in Cold-3 Death-3 dominion for sure

And the answer that comes directly from the author...
