I would rather have just special stronger AI nations. That have some standard mp tactics enabled that the AI never really seems to do. (Commanders that autocast the common buff spells would be nice for example).

Or a unit that just has the buffs that a good bless would have. (And that unit is autosummoned by immobile cap only units (which autodie during the first turn of combat so you cannot enslave them as a player)).
