AI commanders should be disabled or heavily limited. They steamroll objectives before you even get there, making the gamemode less fun. They also probably cause a lot of the lag, since they tend to spawn a lot of assets.
edit: changed "AI players" to "AI commanders" to avoid confusion
Join an official SOGPF warlords server, observe as the player slots are filled with AI "commanders"
The SOGPF Warlords mission does not edit upon the original Warlords functionality or framework, therefore major changes to the game mode won't be possible as they are outside the scope of the CDLC.
Regarding the AI commanders, it's a bit of a lose-lose situation since there are really only two options avaliable,
Personally I see the current best bet being keeping the AI to allow players to play anytime without having to wait for actual players.
Although I'm interested to hear more of your thoughts on this to see if we can find a way to find a way to improve the Warlords missions.
