Maybe the community should compile a list of AI attributes or features that the developers or modders could use as a sort of checklist.
Something separated into two general categories of Friendly and Enemy AI. Then further separated into three categories of, Essential, Desired, and Ideal AI qualities or abilities.
In the Essential category you could have not just positive pre-requisites, but negative ones too, things along the lines of what the Friendly or Enemy AI must never do or fail at.
In the Desired category you could have more advanced features that should be possible given the current technology, but which aren't game-breakers like in the Essential category.
In the Ideal category you could have wishful thinking, 'it would be good if we could one day have such and such a feature' type ideas.
Just putting it out there. Might be more constructive and proactive than just waiting to see what the developers or modders do then reacting to that after it happens. Create some guidelines so the developers know what the community considers to be fundamentally necessary or essential, what they consider to be worth trying to achieve beyond that, and what they don't really expect to be done but would hold as the highest achievement or aim.
