D) Does the AI get tweaked in patches?
E) Are there things that one can do to make the AI more competitive? (For example, things like: play larger maps, play smaller maps, play with more players, play with fewer players, play with stronger independents, play with weaker independents, etc)

A.) at least as good as Warlords 3 or Age of Wonders 2. IMO, better.

B.) Depends on the player.

C.) No.

D.) Yes.

E.) Yes. I find that larger maps, and higher indy strength helps. The indy strength slows me down, which helps the AIs.
