Just placing it here to get bigger awareness about it, I've made a mod which makes the AI actually build tier 2 and 3 units at Impossible and Challenging (edit: Challenging level actually works better than I initially assumed). Here it is:

Here are examples of it in action: see the Dragon Queen build a Temple to Agrela on a Holy Ground and parade with Spirits of Life whereas the Rune Witch attacks Nefertari's Veterans and Magisters with Elite Guards:
Add also this as a secondary mod:

and the AI would, at least at first glance, seem sorta kinda competent, despite actually suffering from severe internal bugs. It is still mostly an early game threat, although its mid-game attacks on your position may actually require some attention now, and in case of it casting the Unity spell and you needing to assault its capital, the capital will be defended better. The amount of units it builds is quite high, which increases the inter-turn time, but since AI unit death rate is also quite high, it doesn't reach a "carpet of doom"-like situation.
