This is a good idea... yet the programming and beta-testing involved makes this more of a feature request for Dom_3. The biggest improvement the game needs is improving the AI for computer opponents.
Hmm, I guess it depends on how much code re-use they would be able to use when implementing it. If it requires only a little new code, then I"m not sure it would take a lot of testing. If it requires a significant chunk of new code, then you're probably right.

As for the AI improvements, I wouldn't hold my breath. I've taken a few AI courses, and it's very challenging code with a lot of potential for things to go wrong. Talk about heavy beta testing requirements! But I'm happy with the AI as is, because the wonderful MP completely replaces the need for competent AI, and I enjoy "sandboxing" against the existing AI.
