The AI has always sucked in the TW games. Basically all complex games have piss poor AI, and without monster-sized buffs they never stand, anything that even resembles a chance. It took me less than an hour to get the hang of STW, and after that I could not be beaten unless the odds were impossible or I just goofed around. So it carries on all the way to RTW. The only reasons the AI might appear better in the previous games is because these games are less complex.

It suprises me that anyone who has already played STW or MTW expected any improvements in this area from RTW, you ppl should have learnt long ago how this business works. All you can do is to just find what's good with a game, and enjoy it for that, don't expect what's not already good to get better with sequels. NEVER. If it would happen, and it's more rare than gold, just see it as an added bonus or something.. And NEVER EVER listen to promises, it's like politics because it's about money. Promise it get's money equals good, doing it costs money equals bad, it's the only math you ever need to learn if you're getting into politics or publishing.

The fact that you're all moopy and whining about how you did not get what you expected is just irritating, given that you should already know how it plays. Do you also believe in santa claus perhaps? No? Because what you're expecting is mythology, it's less historical than the RTW campaign, it does'nt happen and never have.
