AI is not competitive (broken) in PvE (conquest, coop vs AI, etc) - Serious rework/overhaul needed.
**I would like to recommend that the developers go into the Discussion/Forum section on Steam, and just look through the various posts for titles containing "AI" - you will find countless posts from people complaining about the state of the AI, with many people posting specific criticisms. Your community is BEGGING for you to fix AI (and/or at least acknowledge the problem). **
Here are some direct links to just a couple of the many posts:

I wanted to write some specific issues here, but the character limit is only 1,000 so I won't be able to. Please look through the Steam General Discussion area and you will find plenty.
Devs, not fixing the AI is costing you MORE REVENUE - people like me have stopped purchasing DLC because of it.
Thank you for your attention.

VmanI would also like to add that my friends and I used to purchase every DLC so we could play new clans against the AI. We only ever play against the AI. But since we notice the AI has problems, we have largely stopped playing and have not purchased the last 4 or so DLC because of it. One example from our last game we played a while ago, it was us 3 vs 6 extreme AI. Before we could even reach the AI, three of them had wiped themselves out simply because they angered the giants or dwarfs and didn't know how to fix the relationship so kept getting attacked until they were dead. Of the remaining three AI, only two of them actually put up some kind of fight. The last one sat passively in its base with only a few territories. I stumbled here after googling to see if anything has been fixed as we thought about getting back into the game. But I guess not, especially after reading point 1 in the first steam review link above. That's what we always saw.

GalvayYeah, it makes no sense anymore to play with someone else against AI, since AI does nothing or gets stuck ar some point. Our last game was 2vs2:
First AI Player was killed midgame by wildlings. Like... How could this happen?
Second took one of my areas, then his all soldiers died in the wild. All I had to do is carve again through the wildlings and take his HQ, since there was no resistance. And I waited a year with the attack, so it had plenty of time to rebuild the army...
So honestly, currently the only challenge on higher difficulties is the wildlife, and surely not AI Players. No point of playing really :(
I think that community does better work at AI development right now that the devs, which is baffling.
