If you remember where you saw it, please post it because it could be useful. Prior to 1.2 the AI received a +4 attack on H (all units) and +7 attack on VH (all units). This came from Jerome's response in a Q/A in the modding section here. The AI was also the recipient of some undefined morale bonuses, but no defense adjustments IIRC. After 1.2 the attack bonuses appear to be absent, but the morale bonuses appear to have been amplified or altered in some fashion. This has led to some rather strange effects, such as human triarii beating up AI triarii 1v1 on VH...
