What is the biggest advantage the Human has over the AI?

[KingCapone]

* Timing.

* Roads and railroads.

* Patiently focusing on one goal at the time, which I have a serious problem with:

I know that I want to keep producing swordmen while I'm ahead and only the Aztecs have Feudalism, but a library or marketplace would be so nice. Maybe in just this one random town? Or two.

I know that I need gold for buying granaries in a couple of remote towns, making them worker/settler factories that support the war expansion in a beautiful way. But I'm only 11 turns away from the next worthless tech

I know that trading Currency to the Iroquois, basically giving it to everone else when they sell it, completely breaks the plan to stall the world research pace. But they have three workers and 70 gold! I would've given it to them for free, so surely I can't refuse this offer.

* I would like to say using the terrain in war, but the AI appears to be as smart as me doing that. Or I'm as dumb as the AI. Maybe I haven't mastered it yet.

* I would like to say naval battle, but is it economically justifiable (satisfying for sure) to have three boats standing by for ten turns to sink the next enemy party, losing in average one of your own boats in the process?

Thought I'd add my two cents:

The human player is the only one whose central processing unit is made of meat.

Strategy. That is what humans have over CIV 3 AI.
