The AI doesn't have a chance under those conditions compared to armenians. We won't fix this quickly, but it will get better - you can be sure of that. Plus Pontos will pose more of a threat to armenians in the future too and keep them bottled up a little better when more pontos units come into thegame.
Noooooooo, not my precious Armenia! I must say though, it would be nice if Armenia was more concerned with Sophene and Lesser Armenia, its original lands, and less concerned with the lands above the Caucaucas (how do you stop spelling that) Mountains. Ah well, we can but wish. Though I have noted in one game I played that Armenia actually took on pontos as was doing quite well, they had driven Pontos out of Sinope and made it all the way to Nikomedia.
