Yes. This is a valid argument. Well, a _very_ good AI
would change production/form alliance/etc... immediately
and these changes are preserved through savegames.
That _very_ good AI will look at what it is currently
doing and figure out the history which leads to its
current behavior whenever savegames are loaded.

Anyway, I think a compromise for those "not so good" AIs
would be server sending out a savegame ID whenever it
saves/restores a game. Those AI clients can have their
private savegames and look for a match on server reload.
