I instructed the AI to not get the Recon promotions for land units because Recon 1 and 2 provide no combat bonuses. The combat bonuses on guerrilla/trenches are more useful in most games. I only get Recon for vanguards in maybe... one out of ten games.
On the other hand, I did tell the AI to get Recon for ships, because the capability to pass a block of ice while circumnavigating a continent is useful in almost every game. I often see the AI doing that with ships.
