I expect they will fix the baby-sitting-the-settlement bug. It was so annoying. Also make the AI more creative in their formations. Barbarians always do the same tactics.
They use the VG as a story medium because it always sells especially by amateur developers. I think they only started doing it because only at this time now that graphics has improved. Think back in those retro days when story isn't taken into account (i.e Donkey Kong, Mario, Street Fighter and the ever so addictive Tetris). Like Ratatoskr321 said developers these days now has to fit in with the people's taste that is why they make VGs as a story medium because people now like stories more than enjoyment. Also, I'd rather spend more money on VGs than watch movies these days because stories in VGs are far more interesting.
