Think about it: If you touted the AI as being one of the game's major selling points, and then it turned out to be less than stellar, you'd be reviled for deceiving your fanbase, maybe even accused of false advertising. But if you don't mention the AI and it then turns out to be pretty good, it's a pleasant surprise for everyone! There's simply no way CA *isn't* aware of Rome's AI deficencies, and I therefore can't believe they're not going to do their best to fix them this time around.
