Gelatinous Cube -> RE: The AI and Victory Conditions (12/5/2011 9:25:55 PM)

This is a good question, to which I do not really know the answer.
My experience so far suggests that the races will act according to racial/governmental bias regardless of settings, although I think this did not used to be the case.
One thing to remember is that the victory progress bar can be kind of deceptive. By checking all four options for victory (say, 40% Territory/Economy/Population) and setting a victory threshold of, say, 90% you are telling the computer this: To win, you need to get your progress bar over the line at 90%. Your racial victory is broken down into several subsections, and achieving all of those completely will give you 25% total victory progress. Likewise, if you actually conquer 40% of the colonies, it will only give you 25% victory progress, and no amount of conquering more colonies will increase that value.
At first, I was confused by that. Thinking that perhaps by setting territory, population, or economy, I was telling the AI how much victory points to assign those values, when in the end it is always equal parts of varying values.
