Also, a price drop means more players, which means a bigger, more active, community. Which means more mods, more demand for patching, and a greater motivation for patching. I'm not saying that Illwinter is suddenly going to plunge back into Dominions III, but as human beings, they may be more inclined to help out a more vibrant community than a stagnant one.
And, you know, more mods. Maybe some enterprising young coder will take an interest in the game's AI and release an unofficial patch. We can dream, right?
Dom3Mods is still active, more so than here in fact: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php

Also I don't think a coder would be able to do anything with the AI no matter how enterprising, that stuff is all locked up in the game's exe file, there's no ini files or anything like that that can be edited. There have been a few attempts at improving the AI casting by making some spells less likely to be cast by unscripted mages through modding though.
