Indeed, the same problem in RTW I remember.
That and that the AI had no population to build troops with.
Hence why the most challenging mods have money scripts for the AI since it obviously can't handle the economy part.
Personally I don't care if the AI cheats, as long as it's reasonable and makes the game challenging.
Giving them alot of money seems reasonable to me.
