Did they ever fix the lightning AI issues?

Title. I remember getting this game a good while back and bouncing hard off of the crappy feeling of the AI being able to outmaneuver me just because it's a computer that doesn't have to read the turn messages, and can maneuver 3 armies at once while I have to use a UI.

I was thinking about trying it out again but if this was never fixed, I don't want to bother, and my searches only turn up crap from years ago or unrelated stuff about real-world AI developments.
