Don't you just........
....hate it when:
You uncover an Eye of the Magi - and see all those lovely resources and artifacts being gobbled up by the AI. (somehow, if you can't SEE it, it's not so bad)
The enemy flees a combat with his last few creatures, only because he gained an extra atack with Morale.
Your main hero, or scout laden with just collected artefacts gets hit by an unexpected ambush and you lose the lot!
Forgetting to equip combat artefacts before a combat, or movement artefacts at the end of turn.
In combat, the enemy places his troops on your corpses, and prevents resurrection / reanimate.
I can think of more, but what others can you think of?

DUH! I'm not a complete n00b. but first read and then THINK please. But what do you think eagle eye will help you when you are almost done with the level? Most likely you will have loads of spells so how big is the chance of learning a spel in combat at the end? eagle eye sux in any way

...someone swipes your boat from right under your nose, and when you kill them to get it back, the boat disappears along with the enemy! Of course, your newly-stranded hero never happens to know Summon Boat and has no way of learning it.
...an enemy takes your mines, then your ever-so-helpful computer ally comes and grabs them before you can recover them yourself.
...you send gifts to your AI ally, and instead of reciprocating, it contines to complain that it doesn't have enough of such-and-such.
...(in H4) you take a color's town, and shortly thereafter a caravan consisting of a small, fast unit arrives. After appearing on your doorstep, the unit simply wanders off into the fog, rarely to be seen again. You kill the rest of the color, but its turns continue to take as long as they always have because that one unit apparently has places to go and things to do. Furthermore, in the rare instances when you actually spot the silly thing, it is always just passing by a mine or dwelling, far away from any force of yours that could put it out of its misery.

Not in H3 you can't. Believe me, I tried. Those mines are inaccessible to you until the bad computer takes them back. Nor can you use other handy H4 tricks like leaving a single unit on a boat to "guard" it (and sail it away if necessary).
There are any number of "don't you just hate it when"s involved in regularly switching between H3 and H4.  Most of the thread here applies to H3, so that's what most of my items refer to, unless labeled otherwise.

Khaelo,
I expect you know this, but just in case.....
When playing with an AI ally, you can hire heroes in their towns. Which means you can grab their resources before they do! Not always the best strategy, but on some occasions v. useful.
Also you can TP to their towns, to help keep the enemy from taking them. (Or TP to a threatened ally town, ride off round the corner, and take it BACK from the enemy once he's captured it, so it is then yours!)
I don't mind the AI grabbing things that much any more, I get them all anyway before I win.
