Can you comment on if the AI has been improved (especially strategic AI) very much?

I've rather started numerous games just to see the new stuff than going far into each, so I won't bet my hand on a definite answer... But I've seen AI building respectable armies with heavy troops, and even building forts !

That sounds rather promising. Having followed the wish lists it seems that the better AI is the most anticipated feature in Dom 3. I just lost my temper with Rome Total War and that stupid AI, which just sat his troops down while my scorpions (a type of ballistae {declension?}) were killing them at a steady rate. Of course, I could just not use scorpions, but I wish enemy couldn't use them either, because they jam the AI on sieges. Gee, I got a little sidetracked to OT.

It will serve as an example of an situation, where a bad AI can cause severe headache.
