Here's a list of what AI is used by all of the TACC maps *AND* downloadable maps, pulled from the OTA files. For third-party maps, you'll have to check the "aiprofile=;" line in the OTA file to be sure.

Don't bother with Urban maps;  the AI will never play very well on those, IMO.

In the REV31.GP3 patch, there are extra ai profiles that are not used on any of the maps in the original game. (but perhaps they should!) These are:
ACID (*ONLY* used in Core Contingency!)
HOVER (*ONLY* used in Core Contingency!)
METAL (*ONLY* used in Core Contingency!)
URBAN (*ONLY* used in Core Contingency!)
WATERWRLD (*ONLY* used in Core Contingency!)

My Acid and Hover ai's are pretty much identical to each other, since I haven't played much of either.
My AirBattle, SeaBattle, and Waterwrld are similar, but by no means identical.
(Seabattle goes for BIG navys, AirBattle more for aircraft and hovers. And Waterwrld just tries to make a navy out of floating metal makers!)
Urban and Default *USED* to be very similar, but then I noticed the importance of water on most Urban maps. Also, Urban requires more metal makers than Default - just for the ai to survive.
Now Urban and AirBattle are similar.
Metal and Default are similar, except metal uses moho mines instead of metal makers and moho metal makers -- plus it has higher unit maximums, presuming (naturally) that more metal is available on metal maps.
Krogoth and Metal *used* to be identical, but since the Krogoth Encounter has so much water on it -- I figured the ai for it should be more Air/Sea oriented. Basically, Krogoth ai became the ai to do EVERYTHING -- but only if unit max is at *LEAST* 250 and preferably 400 or 500.

As you can see from my many suggestions in parenthesis, many of the maps need different and possibly more specialized ai profiles -- like a partial-water map that has very weak tides but strong winds.

Primary factors in choosing an ai for a map:

1.type of terrain: acid/waterworld/island/continent/land
2.how much metal: low metal/nonmetal/metal (2 or fewer metal spots per screen = low metal)
3.restrictive (mountains, trees, acid, lava)/open for free movement of ground units
4.wind levels: wind/solar (wind = 3000 or higher avg windspeed) = windmill/solar map?
5.map size: <8 x 8 map/12 x 12 map/>20 x 20 map (small, medium, large map)
6.unit max: <150 unit max/250 unit max/400+ unit max (small, medium, large unit max)

1.Acid/Continent/Island/Land/laVa/Waterworld
2.Low/Nonmetal/Metal
3.Restrictive/Open
4.Low/Windy
5.Tiny/Small/Medium/Large/Huge
6.Small/Medium/Large unit max

		1	2	3	4	5	6	Good Example map:
Nasty water/restrictive movement:
ACID		A	N	R	L	*	*	Acid Trip
HOVER		?	N	R	L	?	*	The Bayou
??????	C	M	R	L	*	*	Over Crude Water
??????	*	N	R	L	*	*	Temblorian Mist

Scare land water maps:
WATERWRLD	W	L	R	L	*	*	Brain Coral
SEABATTLE	I	N	R	L	*	*	Hundred Isles

Big island water maps:
URBAN		C	L	R	L	*	*	Town & Country
AIRBATTLE	C	N	R	L	L	*	Two Continents
SEAMETAL	C	M	R	L	*	*	Metal Isles, Seven Islands

Mostly land, but too much water to ignore map:
KROGOTH	C	M	O	L	L	L	Krogoth Encounter
??????	I/C	N	O	L	*	*	Ring Atoll

Land maps:
DEFAULT	L	N	O	L	*	*	The Great Divide
METAL		L	M	O	L	*	*	Metal Heck

Windy land maps:
WIND		L	N	O	W	*	*	The Cold Place
WINDMET	L	M	O	W	*	*	Metal Heck 2

* means doesn't matter

The standard ai profiles:
(presumes)
ACID		= MOSTLY acid map, nonmetal, low winds, open terrain, medium map
AIRBATTLE	= continent map *OR* restrictive terrain, nonmetal, low winds, large map
DEFAULT	= land map, nonmetal, open terrain, low winds, medium map
HOVER		= continent map, nonmetal, open terrain, low winds, medium map
KROGOTH	= continent map, metal, open terrain, low winds, large map, high unit max
METAL		= land map, metal, open terrain, low winds, medium map
SEABATTLE	= island map, nonmetal, open terrain, low winds, medium map
URBAN		= continent map, low metal, open terrain, low winds, medium map
WATERWRLD	= waterworld map, low metal, open terrain, low winds, medium map

My special ai profiles:
(presumes)
SEAMETAL	= continent map, metal, open terrain, low winds, medium map
WIND		= land map, nonmetal, open terrain, high winds, medium map
WINDMET	= land map, metal, open terrain, high winds, medium map
