Does having all the victory conditions on dilute the AI

May 2, 2003 2:53 PM from

I noticed that in my present game with cultural victory on
and all others off,the Altarians seemed to really hone in on culturally taking over everybody.Would having the other
victory condition on,diplomatic victory,(I think I heard that they cant win through research),have diluted the AI so that they would have to work for 2 types of victory conditions,3 if you count military?

I think what you are seeing isn't a result of the victory conditions (because currently the AI can only win by totally overwhelming the human player) but a result of what the AI chooses for racial attributes at game creation. Sometimes you'll see AI's choose very high influence values which makes them tend to expand naturally through assimilation (like players do when they go a similar route). This is greatly enhanced if such an AI also has influence resources available to it.

AAhaa!!So there is some randomness at game setup as to which path the AI will choose or be strong in to win.
