I have a question. As I am creating a scenario, can I effect the AI "thought process" but what I place in the vicotory conditions. For instance, if I have a CVBG and a couple of bases, if I select in my victory conditions they the enemy needs to destroy the Carrier, will the AI know to focus on that first before the bases?

The AI is not smart enough to prioritize targeting for VicCond purposes. Though it will consider the carrier to be a serious threat (or valuable target) and act accordingly, and in many cases, I think you will find in practise that the AI just 'loves' to attack carrier groups.

Even when that attack is very ill advised...single ASW planes trying to attack a CVBG comes to mind.
