GalCiv 2 is famous for a game in which one of the AIs used the human player as a pawn against another AI.

IMO you're over-estimating the AI in GC-2. I've played quite a lot of GC-2 games and was also quite active on GalCiv forum and 've never seen or heard of anything alike.

The main problem with such information is: a live players sees a random act of an AI, that makes sense to the live player, and immediately thinks AI is "smart" (has code to handle this situation). Unfortunately, most of the time it hasn't. The intelligence is just in the eye of the beholder.
