I recommend the BASE mod pack
And in the resource-rich version, only one star should be active, which directly affects the resources. Otherwise, you will be limited by the number of heroes.
In fact, with the resources, the AI already plays much better. Which is logical, given the advantage.
The next two mods are needed for the game to work correctly. The rest are up to your taste.
