designing AI for era 1 Mictlan

[Baalz]

Seems like Mictlan is going to be a real rough one for the AI to handle. Most of the crap troops the AI likes are extra crappy with Mictlan, and it doesn't really have the capacity to use Mictlan's strengths. Even if you give it an uber bless with a high dominions score the sacred troops are going to be a negligible part of the army, and without a decent blood hunting strategy neither are demons. The question of blood sacrificing isn't a deal breaker to me (assuming the AI blood sacrifices at all), with a high dominion score just sacrificing at the rate that you get them from your capital will keep you with a decent dominion through the early part of the game, and honestly I don't see how the AI could last past that anyway. I really don't see how you could do this without changing the AI, playing this nation is just too different from how it works.

1) SC god? The AI will kill him off real quick.
2) Good scales? For what, even more Warriors? Won't be able to push dominion very far anyway without blood slaves.
3) Uber bless? As little as the AI will take advantage of this, it may be the only real option.

Soooo, I'd go with maybe even a triple bless crappy scales and let the sacreds the AI does recruit really bite.
