Well, while tactical retreating makes sense, I think reducing the AI's use of sniping and retreating would be one thing to make it less frustrating to play against.
But one of the things I've seen from the Xilmi type AIs a lot is getting to Death Spores and then then just doing all out blitzes with Death Spore bombers that can start wiping everyone out. Seems like Silicoids do this especially since they have a very high chance of getting Death Spores and are one of the fastest races to develop. Not really sure what to say about it since objectively it is a legitimate strategy.
