The A.I. in AOEIV is indeed one of the worst in the strategygame universe 
The game starts. You create some defences. You take a bit of a beating during (+/-) 8 minutes. The AI stops attacking. You build a bit of an army. You go and finish of your A.I.-opponents (one or seven, no problem). To quote Homer Simpson: “Boooooring!!!”.
In a nutshell? I give the AOE IV A.I. a 2/10. Out of sympathy for the effort
