Well, that's because I taught the AI what it means to be Samurai.
Yes, I think most of us agree that's it's tough. I've to admit that I've lost a lot at the beginning, too. Part of the strength of the AI is certainly due to my tweakings but the other part is due to the AI's command stars. Having 6* or more generals considerably boosts the combat values of the units. You're well advised to field your best commanders of at least equal rank. Also, pay attention to the level of upgrades the enemy units have.
The "normal" difficulty doesn't give you or the AI any other combat advantage. So, while it's hard and the AI does know how to fight it's still possible to win.
You've to use your units properly, though. You cannot just overpower the enemy like in Rome. The game doesn't allow much mistakes.

I'm not sure if this helps you in any way. If you like we can have an extra discussion thread. Perhaps you would like to give us some screenshots of battles and a description on how it went. Then we could tell you what you've been doing wrong.
