Interesting! I don't know the game, but I'd like to try it.

An economist's perspective: if you want to make an analytically valid choice between an arbitrary number of alternatives, you can convert all the resources and values to some single type of unit. For example, utility. This can make your priorities explicit to yourself. When you don't know how a certain action will affect a given resource, you can articulate this uncertainty using a probability distribution over possible outcomes. If you wanted to teach a computer to play seven wonders, I think this is a good place to start.
