My big gripe about the AI is the fact that they seem to be afraid of water or something. I've played several Continents maps on Prince difficulty and in each case it normally comes down to the point where I hold one continent and an AI civ holds the other but the AI won't send any units over. I finished a game up last night where I had one continent as Ramsses II and Gandhi (of all leaders) on the other. According to the Demographics chart, his military was almost double the size of mine so just for shiggles, I declared war and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
50 turns (!) later he still hadn't sent one unit my way. Considering our continents were 4 tiles apart at the closest point you would think he would send something across. Being the curious type, I loaded a bomber and 2 fighters onto a carrier and parked it off his coast. To the credit of the AI, he sent one destroyer out to greet my carrier, but I was close enough to see several cities and each turn I saw at least a dozen units just shuffle around the area between his cities.
