Could the code that is used to rate civilisations by military power and 
advancement etc. in those occasional reports be used? I guess it must be 
able to quantify military power + advancement to rank the nations, and 
couldn't it be modified so that the values it calculates can be compared 
between two nations. The difference in these 'scores' betwen the nations 
would give the AI an idea of how much peace is worth to them.
