AI in Old Empire

[Eric R. Smith]

I just tried a game of "Old Empire" with a very recent CVS checkout of
xconq.
The AI just sat there -- it didn't try to conquer any cities (even
though
there were some empty independent ones next to its starting position)
and seemed not to build any exploration units -- no ships or planes.

Is this expected behaviour? If so, perhaps a note could be added to
the game description explaining that this game only works against
a human?
