The AI cheats and the game is designed in way the player is almost always disadvantaged.

A couple of examples:

- At the beginning of the fight the player's army has always a lesser amount of "moral" than the opponent; ironically is possible lose the clash due to the low level of moral even in the case the player's army has more soldiers and fewer loss jsut because the enemy runs all over the map.
Furthermore the the player starts always in a worse position on the map.

- AI has a better food/gold ratio of production

Basically AI plays with different rules than player. The DLC "Saxon campaign" introduces some improvements about diplomacy, army mangement etc. but the problems stated before stay.
