Yes, do not underestimate the meat processor that you were born with. It retrains rapidly and adapts to a lot of situations. Equaling even an average human opponent is a high bar for an AI, which is why some games tweak difficulty just by giving one side more or different units, or even (and I do NOT recommend this) giving a stupid AI better die rolls than the player. Note that I list that last bad idea only to vent about it in general. Auroch is NOT doing that - they are playing fair with die rolls and showing us what we rolled!
