It can. I don't think I've ever managed to beat a max-level AI in a war, especially if they're a dick-ass underwater nation like R'lyeh and you mainly field undead or something. I'd recommend the mod that gives AI blood nations a passive blood slave income since IIRC they don't actually ever blood hunt even if their nation is heavily dependent on blood magic.
