The AI's 'omniscence' only extends to knowing which provinces you control (as if it had a few scouts around, same as you do), I do not think it knows what you have in those provinces unless bordering its empire. This is a pretty mild cheat IMO.

I'm not sure I really believe that it is MERELY limited to knowing what provinces you own, which isn't even really a cheat since most humans can figure this out anyway.

However, the AI does seem to have an absolutely amazing knack for knowing where, exactly, your commanders are. On numerous occasions, I've had a lone mage out in the middle no absolutely nowhere interesting, in the deep interior of my empire, trekking about for some mission that only I would even comprehend, and suddenly, out of the blue, as he moves out of a protected dome area.....ARROWED!

And this isn't exactly a rare case, either: Aforementioned mage survived the arrowing, moved to another province, and.....ARROWED!

I find it very difficult to believe that the AI is targetting these things by pure random chance, or else a far larger number of far less interesting commanders would be getting regularly arrowed.

The AI clearly has an awareness of what is going on inside of your territory that outstrips merely knowing what your territory is, including the fact that during one particularly irritating string of arrowings in my capitol (okay, that's not a surprise, most humans can figure out a capitol too), when I stuck up 4 Domes....boom. No more arrowings. Not STOPPED arrowings, but a total halt in arrowings. And I know magic domes give Messages when they stop something.

All I'm saying is that something's up, and the AI knows more than he's letting on. Some things, he probably deliberately disregards, such as the movement of your troops: After all, Shogun did that, and the devs are surely well aware of the infamy of THAT move: It would just be a little TOO suspicious.

I still say there's something REALLY fishy about those sudden arrowings in the most odd places, though.
