I think when AI code will be more clear, and 
- maybe - there will be
documentation - it will be much easier to 
write real AI client. It can be very
simple at beginning, but then people can 
extend it and run tournaments to check
which strategy is better (like corewars or 
genetic programming).
As I wrote before - IMHO it is possible to 
write dimplomacy with some kind of
score system. Every AI should also have its 
own random "feelings", for example
AI player can hate one other nation, and 
always try to make war with it. One AI
player can try to discover map making and 
settle other islands, while other can
try to discover gunpowder and build 
defences/fight neighbours.
