Instead of Eyes of God, turn on --comptrn. Check how much its income is compared to the maintenance costs. It could be that income is effectively zero, which might mean it can't buy any leaders to move those polypal spawn to the front.

Even if the AI cannot buy any more leaders (are those spawns not upkeep-free??), it still has it's pretender in the province (Wyrm), which should be able to lead at least hundred of them or more into battle ... unless they require magic command, and it maybe does not have magic leadership at all??

Maybe Kristoffer or better Johan should have a look at the turn file ...

Thanks how do I turn that on just type comptrn? Yep good point not only has the AI probably starved itself to death with autospawn but probably bankrupted itself as well!
