Heh; I always play 30 players / hard AI / endyear 500 or 1000.  And I
almost always win but sometimes I actually have to be halfway clever.

The AI is terrible at managing its civilian affairs (which usually
starts being necessary in the 1AD-500AD timeframe); it's mediocre at
fighting aggressive wars; it's not bad at defending itself; it's fairly
good at expanding into new territory (except for its propensity to build
new cities right next to enemy units).
