It has probably been mentioned but have not seen it in all my trolling of various rtw sites.
The AI NEVER EVER attacks a unit you withdraw with on the strategic map.
If the small weak AI army the player attacks withdraws the player simply follows and 90% of the time is able to attack a second time. The AI player does not do this so the human player's field armies are INVULNERABLE! Outside of city seiges the human player gets to choose every single battle he or she fights!
In order to get a greater challenge, one of the things I do is I never withdraw. Try this out. It is VERY hard to not click the withdraw flag when a full enemy stack hits the 4 units you were sending home to get retrained or a solo leader that you were going to have govern one of your cities. What would your win loss record look like if you NEVER withdrew a field army?
Hey the AI can't run away from you so why should you be able to run away from them?
