Ermor ashen empire/lich queen is probably most powerful vs. AI.

Any Ermor pretender with undead theme is best against the AI, because the AI simply can't do a mass anti-undead strategy.

Otherwise my current favourite is Arco/Nataraja

Something experimental

I was going to try a w9 or f9 pretender (dragon or maybe moloch) with pythium serpent cult. I've heard that the sacred hydras arn't so good in practice.

Virtue - Caelum, Tien Chi or Marignon

I'm not sure if it's exactly favorite, but I like to have a Rainbow for Ulm that can do maximum amount of path boosters, given time. IIRC only Blood boosters were out of reach without empowerment. Great Sorceress works nicely.

Well, then you can probably throw out Caelum/ghost king as well.

So, apart from those, Niefelhiem, nature 9 dragon is pretty nice, not hard to build AI army smashers.

Well, Caelum because it's mages are super cheap, have access to very good spells combat combined with quickness, and are flying for great raiding. They also have a ton of points to use because they like cold 3, and the troops are pretty great, too.

The ghost king is only that powerful base game. He is merely above average in Zen's mod. In base game, though, he is very cheap access to a rainbow and a very good SC in one.
