Default AI Questions

It seems like there may be many spells and actions which are pointless against AI players.

I've never noticed any rhyme or reason in the locations of AI armies. With a player, if he has 500 troops in a province, he probably has 500 troops the following turn as well. He may move them to a nearby land, he may split them up and send them in different directions. He may attack or be attacked. The troops and characters may be killed or otherwise affected by spells or events, but they're all accounted for.

With the AI it seems very different. He may have a huge army in a province one turn, the next turn it vanishes. Where did it go? I wonder, is there any real benefit to assassinating AI characters, Horror marking them, etc? Does a spell like Wrath of God serve any purpose in an SP game?

What's the consensus of the experienced players?
