Thanks for the nice summary and the questions. I think it is worth noting that AI is good only at some board games (fully observable, deterministic games) and not at others (partially observable, non-deterministic games such as, say, Civilization).

Interestingly enough, a team at MIT managed to make an AI that learned how to play from the manual and proceeded to win 80% of it's games against the AI, though I don't know which difficulty it was set to, or how the freeciv AI compares to the one in normal Civilization.
