The AI doesn't need to be super intelligent really, there just needs to enough variables to provide the player a challenge so only one strategy won't allow you to win.
Did you ever play Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor/War? The Orcs operate under what they call the Nemesis System where every powerful, named Orc will be mostly unique and have a combination of classes, status effects, and abilities so there's not simply one way to easily kill all of them. And if you allow them to complete their missions or kill you, their levels will increase and they will get incrementally more powerful and learn annoying abilities like health regen and become more and more immune to your bullshit stealth and ranged abilities that decimate weaker Orcs
The problem with the Nemesis system is that Warner Bros own the rights to it and will most likely sue any game dev that tries to build a similar system.
Yeah. Fuck the patent system. The Nemesis system was one of the coolest things to happen in gaming in a long time, especially the fleshed out version in Shadow of War, and we'll likely never see it again because some fucking suit "owns" the rights to it.
