Noob question about AI and diplomacy

The only thing I can tell you about the AI is that they know when you're weak. I'm curious how many scouts they employ.

My view about the AI in Dominions_3:
I seriously doubt the AI knows how to use scouts, and thus shouldn't be buying them. I could write a whole list of improvements needed by the AI, but it's too much for a small company like Illwinter.
For this reason I've been requesting the next version of Dominions provide modding of the AI via scripts. Ideally the next version of Dominions would provide us the following options:
1) Aggressive (currently within Dominions_3)
2) Standard (currently within Dominions_3)
3) Defensive (currently within Dominions_3)
4) Random (currently within Dominions_3)
5) Custom_A (hopefully found in Dominions_4)
6) Custom_B (hopefully found in Dominions_4)
7) Custom_C (hopefully found in Dominions_4)
8) Custom_D (hopefully found in Dominions_4)
9) Custom_E (hopefully found in Dominions_4)

** Custom A thru E are scripts which can be edited by gamers to improve the AI. Thus anytime someone complains about the AI... all the community has to say is "make a better AI via the scripts". As time passes custom AI scripts will continue to improve, the more scripting commands available the greater the opportunity for a powerful AI.
