It seems pretty simple:

In the civ2 ruleset, civ2 accuracy is most important.
In the civ1 ruleset, civ1 accuracy is most important.
In the history ruleset, historical accuracy is most important.
In the default ruleset, play balance is most important.

This is why each ruleset is maintained separately.
