AI receives significant upgrade discounts. On prince it costs a player 79g to upgrade a knight to a cavalry, while it costs the AI 17g.

This is yet another thing I strongly dislike.
The A.I can upgrade his entire army for a few hundred gold - for the same money the human player will barely be able to upgrade the defenders in even one of his cities!
Since the need for upgrading is constant and the human player simply cannot come up with the gold required for constant upgrading, the AI should not have too much trouble destroying the human whenever it reaches a new technology allowing upgrades to a more powerful unit.
