So, I know it's possible to set AI gods using map commands. Ballbarian's SemiRandom program will put AI gods on the map, choosing from a library of human-made gods suitable for particular races. So using that would be a huge improvement.

As for blessing, one excellent solution would be to put #onebattlespell "Divine Blessing" on all the AI's commanders. That makes them cast it before the battle starts, without needing any magic skill to do so. The only trouble is that there'd be no nice way of making a mod that was very reusable but didn't affect the player's commanders. If people were happy with the player's commanders also auto-casting divine blessing (creating a fair solution in which blessing simply didn't need to be cast any more), I could put together a mod to do that in literally a couple of minutes.
