The big weakness of MAX's AI even on expert mode is that it's too cautious, slowly expanding from the initial settlement. Consequently it doesn't grasp resources actively enough, so it lags behind in development; it doesn't set up real outposts, so it loses control; it packs the buildings so thickly that the units can't circulate; it lets you build your defenses. If the source code hadn't disappeared, maybe it would be enough to tweak a few parameters for risk taking to make it more challenging.
