Thanks for reply Andrew

I play the freeciv AI for relaxation and am fed up with beating them ( hard 
and 8  is dull), so I thought for my new relaxation I would try and make them 
unbeatable ( at least by me).

In real life I do vision systems so I am used to trying to get a global view 
form local data, and its a global outlook they lack.

I just download version 2.0.0 and compiled it. Well done. Diplomacy works and 
the concept of territory seems to be in place.

Is anyone working on giving the AI a long term focus?
