Be thankful that the AI doesn't just gormlessly dribble on you a bit before falling over it's own shoelaces --> mictlan

AI EA or LA Mictlan doesn't dribble on you unless it's by total accident and it's a /very/ small map. It's almost always dead long before it gets the chance.

I think this post on the SA forums sums up quite nicely everything there is to say about the Dominions AI:

How is the AI?

Is the game balanced or too easy once your nation gets to a certain point?
The AI is not a highlight. It's enough to keep someone like me who doesn't have consistently available time for multiplayer entertained, but there are quite a few strategic nuances that the AI doesn't really understand and can't effectively defend against. The AI tends to be better at massing troops than most humans, though, because most humans don't have the patience to collect troops from every territory.

If you are a king of strategy games and want to be challenged, you will need to play humans eventually. If you just like stomping on thousands of human infantry with your unstoppable horde of angels/devils/zombie gods/zombie woolly mammoths/tarrasques/things man was not meant to see the AI can keep you entertained for years.

I have found that Better Independents mod really gives you challenge against many mighty AIs, especially when you take Drain scale.
