To my knowledge and recollection, the early game is generally defined by the Stickyfoam weapon, which ensures that vehicle losses are minimal, but which can kill any struture with impunity if given enough time. The midgame is defined by the ESG and its ability to encourage poking, since its effective range against an enemy that isn't paying attention is 9, but it does poorly when chasing into an opponent who is also using ESGs. The late game is defined by the EMP missile and its ability to break stalemates. High speed units like supernova lynxes and spiders suddenly gain some extra relevance, but having a tiger backbone to the army is also needed or else you lose any fights where EMP missiles didn't exactly hit their mark.
Eden's window of relevance is extremely narrow. They can just cross their fingers and hope the enemy doesn't notice a starflare attack in the early game, or they have one moment just after the advent of Thors when the enemy will likely not have EMP missiles yet and armies might still be small enough that the Thor does better than the ESG. Aside from that one weapon, Eden has inferior DPS and zero tactically interesting options that Plymouth doesn't also have.
Is your target for this AI a multiplayer opponent or a single player opponent, by the way? If single player, just be aware that when making a stage with an Eden opponent, it'll need to have access to / start with more stuff than Plymouth would to be a challenge.
