Firstly, thanks for the post - we always like to hear what people think. I'll respond to each of your points below:
Quitting to the desktop directly from the middle of a game used to be possible (pressing ALT+F4) but it had to be blocked due to some issues it was causing with the game not shutting down properly.
We've received a few error reports on that issue, and have a pretty good idea of the cause, so it should be getting fixed in an update at some point.
If an AI focuses on a single thing like attack or defence, it generally ends up being a lot easier to predict and then to defeat - we've gone through a lot of tweaking and balancing of the AI to get one that plays the game as well as it does (although I'm sure it could be better) - I don't know if we would be able to put the amount of time required into getting multiple AIs to balance properly. In short, it's not a bad idea, but I don't think we could spare the time/effort to do it justice.
Not the first time we've hear a suggestion for artillery/siege of some sort, although we haven't really given it much thought - it's basically a low priority item since the existing unit types all seem to balance out very well anyway.
Units can already combine - just place them on top of each other (they must both be in the same territory, both be of the same type, and their combined level must be less than 4).
