It's obvious CA went hard for the eye candy and not for AI or gameplay on RTW.

This is a big trend in gaming now - see David Wong at Pointless Waste of Time for an amusing essay about this problem.

They also left so many bugs and problems in the shipped game, that you can either think CA's owner was too busy selling to Sega or they have project management issues. Let's face it, the Vice & Virtue system is innovative and interesting...if only they had a college intern scan it for logical errors instead of relying on the players themselves. The same could be said for their QA of patches, etc. - i.e. Scarface generals.

The expansion won't fix the main issue of bad AI - that will be addressed in the next TW game - unless we continue with eye candy - "look at the sweat rolling down each individual soldiers face!" But I think the game companies will hit a wall with that and it will come back to AI and playability.
