Two problems with the "improve the AI" thing. One is that is a SoloPlayer-only thing which kindof drops it on the list (personally Im 95% solo player but I can see that this is true). Although the fact that it would improve the demo and maybe improve sales might give it some points it still doesnt seem to hit the fun-to-do list. Something might get done but I dont think it will ever be as much as we SP's want.

The other problem is that while many say they want it improved, there is still very little work done by any of us to try and pinpoint specific suggestions. There is only one AI so it would take coming up with some specific rules on castles/national-units/tactics which are play-tested as though you were the AI (force yourself to play by those rules) and see if they hold up for just the one nation that comes to mind or for all nations. (there are a number of threads on this subject if you want to use the "search" to join in)
