The AI that you describe would certainly be better than Rome's.
How can I experience that right now? I'm asking because the unscripted battles I've tried with the Gold demo are all the same. The AI approaches my line in a somewhat unorderly fashion, deploys a line or two but fails to adjust its angle to mine and then it waits for me to do something. If I don't it waits. When I do charge it with Cav in the rear it seems surprised and when I move my line closer it will send single units to counter, not the whole line.
Of course this is only a demo and obviously has the bug that Palamedes described in his blog but I can't see an AI that is promising in any way.
