The AI's diplomatic behaviour is current only regulated by the

AI is not very trusting for NEUTRAL and PEACE modes, but once it hits

* Locally_zero_minimap is not implemented when wilderness tiles
change.
* If no path to chosen victim is found, new victim should be chosen.
-* AI doesn't know how to make trade routes or when. It should try to
-build trade routes for its best cities (most building bonuses and
-least corruption) by moving caravans there and changing homecity.
* Emergencies in two cities at once aren't handled properly.
* Explorers will not use ferryboats to get to new lands to explore.
The AI will also not build units to explore new islands, leaving huts alone.
