About the only exception to that guideline is Mansa, he's the only AI strong enough at tech to shrug of dogpiles at the stage they usually happen. His only weakness is that occasionally his propensity to ignore rifling puts him at a military disadvantage.
I reckon if Mansa's tech flavour were commerce/military he'd be unbeatable under the Survivor competition rules.
