[bug? 0.86] stupid AI sovereign bonuses

from Elemental Forums

Okay, I've suspected this for a while but this confirms it.  Turn 15, normal difficulty, epic speed - I run into Carrodus.  He is level 2.  He has 5 level up traits including 3 way-of paths.  He also has 3 pieces of leather armour.  I've been flat-out researching (with Inspiration and max growth) and have only got half-way to my first tech.

Normal says nothing about giving ridiculous bonuses to AI factions.  This sort of thing drives me crazy.

So bug or by design?

I noticed this too. Granted the user can easily achieve the same thing by editing their custom sovereign's xml file but this shouldn't be possible for the AI on normal setting.

It could be relevant that I control-N'ed a few times before starting this game.

edit: @ legaceez - I'd love to have 'Glyph of Life' in the first couple of turns.  I NEVER get to the end of the tech tree to get this spell... and this game is on epic speed - 8C
