Why does the AI choose Death Scales all the time?

[NTJedi]

Typically I will use mapedit commands to also provide AI opponents with a 3 growth scale as well since it suffers several ways with a death scale.
1) Gold income for the AI will steadily decrease
2) Supplies for its lands will also shrink hurting the AI more than humans
3) These points spent on pretender magic paths are almost always a bad investment since the AI's don't organize armies using the blessing bonuses.

I also recommend setting supplies to 300% for helping the AI
