I don't want to be rude, but the Galciv AI is pretty much average. I've installed the game again to try it out with the latest patch. I steamrolled the AI on the hardest level...and I wasn't playing for lot of weeks.

I won't be so definitive : in GC the AI is surprinsingly "intelligent" strategically, enters into diplomacy with more or less good results (for it), but falls into "traps" that are easy to design by players.
In Dom1-3 the AI is totally brainless, can't be reasoned with, but produces things and send them to attack you: sometimes it even win !

I definitely have to question what AIs you consider "above-average" if GalCiv is average. Everything I've encountered with regards to it has given me quite the opposite impression... but perhaps you've played some awesome games I've never heard of.

To be honest I haven't seen a good game AI ever...the fact is, that its absolutely not hard to beat the Galciv2 AI on the hardest settings. So I cannot say that the AI is good.
Not to mention that the diplo AI can be exploited totally by the human player.
