Of course a new AI engine would be much appreciated but I don't see that on the horizon.
But maybe we'll see changes that "help" the AI, for instance a fix for the Luna exploit.
HotA already did something like that, making the AI cast Berserk...
I don't think the AI characteristics are of any relevance. You can't set them for random maps, the names do not fit and all are equally dumb.

Will there be a new campaign in the next major update when the new faction comes out?

HotA Crew is'nt it time you acknowledged Accurate Shot is pretty broken.
I have seen Sea Dogs kill 6 or more level 7 units with Accurate Shot, then they can get morale and do it again!
You could argue Mighty Gorgons can do the same, but they are level 5 creatures, slower, can not shoot and their ability does not work VS all creatures.
Also please put a (lower) cap on Haspids revenge ability, it's ridiculous how much damage these sea snakes can do when hurt a little.

historically the major updates happen around new year, but there is no official date as far as i know.
i'd rather not have them commit to any date anyways, they do that out of their own free will for us all so it's better we don't stress them with the dates, especially for this patch because they teased a lot of new content.

No.
They are made of paper.
Their dwelling is expensive.
Their ability stops working when you park a unit (any unit) next to them.
Which means that in a player vs player battle they will pretty much never use this ability at all.

No.
The unit is pretty much garbage without it.

Also, think that they are an even better version of the Ancient Behemoths, especially having a higher price.

and they require you to commit to the powerstack early on if you want a chance of ever going sea dogs lol, the build order is too much for most games sea dogs barely see any play i'd rather have them buffed than nerfed for real even in larger n longer games i haven't seen sea dogs get much action, cost and build order makes them very niche, accurate shot is what defines the whole unit design and it's good as is
but ye i think they're fine, hota crew probably realizes it isn't time to listen to phoenix 4 ever having his 10000th baseless complaint, cove would do good with a slight buff not even more nerfs tbh

Phoenix4ever must realize that nerfs to some insignificant (meta-wise) unit because "under ideal circumstances it can do X or Y" isn't the way to make Hota a better experience for everyone.
Basically the way would be:
1. identify "the meta" - i.e. what good players do sort of automatically because it's the only sane thing to do. Such as: going for creature banks asap because they provide overpowered rewards, not building certain dwellings, not recruiting certain units, etc.
2. challenge that internally i.e. create test versions and see if the game becomes better (more diverse usually means better) once an "axiom" has been removed. I.e. creature banks give less creatures, or different ones. Or no creatures at all.
3. Collect feedback from players participating in test versions.
4. Release a complete version with changes that made the game better, not worse.

Also, let's keep in mind, one barely manages to get Sea Dogs even on rich maps. And again, they have fatal weaknesses as well.

Mighty Gorgons are stronger than Sea Dogs.
Example of
H4 Black Dragon has the same stats, and it upgrades to Darkness Dragon, then stats are att 50 def 50 hp 800 dmg 110-135 speed 8 cost 16000 gold plus 8 sulfurs are strongest creature or tie with Gorynych (Megadragon) are the same AI value and fight in my map Homecoming. Other monsters pay 8000 gold and some resources, except Ghost Behemoth pays 5500 gold and 4 crystals.
Mighty Gorgons kill 16000 + 8 value! Headache as we imagine the Sea Dogs. The answer is hp and amount of damage.
