I think your mistaken Ejergard, population isn't a problem for the AI. Or did you mean for the human player?

You sure? I was certain AI will deplete towns of population, and when there's no population it won't be recruiting any troops.

Guy's take a look at your map with fog of war on. Count the amount of armies in the regions and the amount of cities they have.

And some factions (if not all) have population bonuses.
