I have tried it, but it's really orthogonal. SemiRandom will give AIs some good thugs and/or pretenders to start with, but they still don't build effective units, equip more thugs, summon anything worthwhile, or do effective research. You can both set up thugs at the beginning AND modify units in-play. If I were more interested in fighting thugs per se I would of course HAVE to use SemiRandom, but I personally really enjoy fighting armies (which the computer knows how to build more of) more than finite numbers of thugs (which lead to a "paper" defence because once you kill them, the AI is helpless) so I have stopped using SemiRandom very much when I do play Dominions.
