One thing about AI deployment, is there anyway to spread it out a little more?

Set up a generated battle on a 100 x 100 map with 10,000 points. Choose two "European" opponents but this will work the same with any nation. Set the battle to Meeting engagement.
Set the purchase to Computer and the deploy to Human
Press continue
When the next screen appears press Auto Deploy
Take a look around the map. Go to preferences and set the ID tags on so you can see the units clearly then Zoom the map out
Now press the ' = ' key. You will see the units redeploy
Now do that 50 more times. That ' = ' key is doing exactly the same thing as the "AI" does to deploy every time you press it.
Note that the units set up differs each time. Sometimes you get a concentration of force, sometimes the units are spread out across the map, sometimes you get two groups. Sometimes you get groups on the north and south map edges with a light screening force in the middle of the map and it's different each time. It varies each time the ' = ' redeploy key is pressed and in many cases, unless you are playing with maximum points on small map it does spread the units out and sometimes it does not and it does not always concentrate and all that is coded that way so each time you play the AI something a bit different will happen
Apologies if you already "know all that" but the game does NOT always concentrate it's force and is fully capable of spreading out it's troops but it does not do that all the time because if it did people would complain it never concentrates is force.
The above test will also work on larger and smaller maps with larger or smaller forces. However, if you pick a smaller map and allow a high point count there is less room to spread out the deployment
