OT - Strategy games with GOOD AI

[TheDemon]

It seems to be a constant problem with AI in complex TBS games that they never have an overall strategic plan that ends in winning the game. I can't say I've seen any really competent AIs, but Civ 4 Beyond the Sword on the higher difficulty levels can be challenging and the AIs will eventually focus on a certain type of win (often its spaceship though, which they're not that good at, but I've seen AIs going for cultural wins I've lost a fair share of games because the AI beat me militarilly). Admittedly it gives the AIs a rather massive handicap on the difficulties that are challenging.
