If you switch them to AI from human controlled they're at normal difficulty. Normal is as smart as the AI gets, but they don't get the bonus to stuff that the higher difficulties get (which negates crappy scales anyway).
In a way, they kindof do.
In the case of mighty AI, they get more to play with but randomly a really crappy setup. In the case of a human player going AI then they get the same as everyone else but (we would hope at least) a much more logical arrangment. So I would consider someone turned AI to rate more like mighty than like a default standard.

Of course the best of both worlds would be to design the AI, and then set it to mighty. With map commands its not too hard, with mod commands its harder but you can do a LOT more unusual changes.

No guarantees, but I will look into modifying my SemiRandom project to support adding custom gods and nation starts to existing maps. At least this way you could be guaranteed that an ai god would have scales appropriate to his/her nation. I am not into boosting starting sites and all of that myself, but no reason that it couldn't be designed to allow others to if they so choose.

Default Re: Mighty Ai

Ive started a thread to come up with a better designed LA Ermor. I will probably release it initially on a map with a set position but you will be free to grab it and work what can be done as a programmed positioning. As for sites... well LA-E starts with only 1 site so there is room to specifically add 3 more. That could be interesting to choose
