maybe the ai should do all this stuff when it learns the game rules. it can 
setup internal tables to handle various conditions. uh-oh, there' people 
coming to get a city, i'd better build defensive units. what units are good 
for defense (check my table)... musketmen.

or something like that.

each unit can probably contain additional information that tells the ai 
specifically how to use it. again, or something like that.
