Ok I understand. Scenarios:
 1) single player on local maschine: no problem
 2) multi player with civbots on the server: no problem
 3) multi player with civbots on the clients without human player
    (AI-vs-AI): no problem (there is the problem that the human player
    may help the civbot ;) )
 4) multi player with civbots on the clients with a human player: problem

If you do 4) be aware of it.
