I agree, this looks like a documentation oversight.

The README explains how to add AI players and start the game, but
it doesn't explicitly mention the fact that human opponents are
not required.  You aren't the first or last person to ask.
I've added a FAQ entry.

It would be helpful if the README mentioned this; it would also
be helpful if in its mention of www.freeciv.org it would urge
the user to check out at least its manuals and its FAQ.
