The AI definitely knows things it should not. I knew once I was mounting an invasion fleet off its coast... outside of is visible range. Maybe it steals warplays automatically... buat I never had a hint of espionage going on.
Last night I started a change in strategy with China, and gave her rite of passage. She has several sections separated my my land, and was continually trying to cross. I am twice her size and strength, and do not considere her a threat, and have no available land to colonze. Two turns later I saw two stacks marching.. 16 units of ombined armor each. then 2 more next turn.... She was at war with germany, and was heading to where Germany was launching an invasion--in an area wher China had no units or cities, and should have had no clue
Other wise, AI does mount new strategies from time to time, and that does make it more of a challenge.
Now, if I could just figure out how to launch Ironclads in one turn, with pop 6 cities....
