At Warlords AI are disadvantaged; The cost of techs, units, buildings,,,etc are 110% of Human players. So 100 bulb tech will cost 110 for them.
At Noble they are even with human player.

Numbers and aggressiveness. The AI is more likely to declare war, and is much more in your face with planting colonies on higher levels. Prime real estate does not last very long on Emperor or above because the AIs expand like weeds. Huts also become less generous. Defense becomes a must at higher levels, because the AI WILL declare war on you. Anything below Prince or so, you can get away with skimping on defense unless you are next to Tokugawa, Monty, or one of the other mongers.
Yep, but sometimes I like having Tok or Monty near because you KNOW they're coming for you and it's just a matter of time. With some of the other mongers it's easier to delude yourself into thinking that they actually like you.

No, they will most definitely bring more units because they have a production bonus. On higher levels the real warmongers will bring stacks featuring pretty outlandish numbers of troops.
Because they also get a bonus to research, they tech more quickly and can therefore bring better units.
However, that doesn't mean they will play smart. So their stacks may still be composed of a really weird mix of units. They will still suicide a big stack against unbeatable defenders. And so on.

And two elephants or two knights with more than a dozen catapults.

Or over 9000 melee and mounted troops and one catapult.
Yes uat2d, it is still annoying that the AI thinks cats and such can still kill units. I'm still shocked that the logic wasn't changed when they nerfed them. That one seemed to be a no brainer but was never addressed in any of the expansions/patches.

I suppose it doesn't matter. If they built human-esk stacks they would destroy humans king or better. If they built any 'standardly formulated' stacks we would code-dive and then counter... I suppose they could just randomly pick priorities or w.e. every time you loaded a new seed... but then we saw how CiV went with randomness.

That's not an excuse to bring to bring 15 catapults and 2 war elephants against a city with 3 archers.
In vanilla it was a great strat. When they nerfed the siege I find it totally unacceptable that they didn't change the logic involved. It's not like no one noticed it. They had many opportunities to fix it and just ignored it.
