Once again, Gandalf speaks words of wisdom...
A good AI is always a good thing for a game, but it's something that takes a lot of work, and Illwinter should most likely focus on their strengths: Dom2 is great for its amount and variety of content,
and because it fills a niche in the "deep, multiplayer-oriented, PBEM game" genre. With limited programming/development ressources (I guess), they should try to improve in this direction, or similar ones, instead of "wasting" efforts in orthogonal directions.
Now, exporting configuration to outside, moddable files, is also a good thing. Allowing for AI customization, if it can be added, would let the community of players try to improve on the supposedly dreadful AI - or, at least, we'd get to see if the "itshouldgothisway"ers and "justdothis"ers can actually improve on it, or just talk
