One thing that would be an immense improvement would be if we were able to design AI gods with the pretender creation tool. Choose difficulty, design pretender with the appropriate number of bonus points and it would be saved to an ai_gods folder or something like that, and if game setup had a "Load random predesigned AI pretender", SP would start looking a lot better.

Of course, that's a fairly extensive feature request, so not likely to happen.
