Does NPC cheat in kingdom mode

[Traciatim]

It seems like no matter how much I slaughter the incoming attacks every X number of minutes, when they return, the count down happens, and a new army of greater size comes out. Do the NPCs play with the same rule sets, or are these armies just made out of nothing when they need them?

[Konstantin Fomenko]

in Kingdom Wars NPCs play the game as a team - and while it`s really hard to get started, once you control 2-3 towns you`ll be able to pump out the armies as fast as NPCs do. And yes - AI does cheat a little bit on medium and hard difficulty to keep up with the player.
