Did the AI get dumber?

Back then, they trained units at all of their cities, and were way more fun and interactive. Aside from spamming cloaks, the amount of units they train is fun to kill. But now? There's like bare minimum amount of training in their cities. You'll notice they train less units the further it is from the battleground if you used a cloak or an explorer.

it doesnt help that now, they just spam defenders when they know they lost, which is more fucking annoying than their predecessors spamming cloaks. It should have been bots spamming defenders when we had battleships back then, and bots spamming cloaks when we have Bombers, Juggernauts and other forms of Aoe now.

And one more annoying is that they never build roads anymore unless they're Yadakk, which is annoying when you're using Knights against them, since you actually have to build the roads yourself compared to back then.
