Personally, I managed to have a good economy and many opens border, but it is true that AI has a problem with it (plus they generally refuse resource trading and prefer to keep for themselves theit 9 fish or sheep resources
)
Another thing about AI expansion, they just not found city, but when they want, they can invade a whole country, out of the civ's historical borders. For example in my current game, Kushans conquered all India (whereas half of it is border area), and Goguryeo conquered 2/3 of China !! it's not a bad thing at all, but it is totally illogical according to their reticence to found new cities ...
