This is the first 4x AI I have seen that can come from behind.

I very rarely play 4x games all the way to the end and would usually abandon SMAC/Civ/Moo mid-to-late game. Once you had enough momentum or especially if you had a good tech-lead, it would just be a matter of grinding the AI down.
I have found that in quite a few games so far (Intelligent/Tiny-Small-Medium/Occasional/Loose Clusters) that I have established a tech lead and have been on-par or slightly behind/ahead in military strength by the early-mid game. But one of the AIs will come back at me hard within a few years.
This is great to see and I was wondering if they can do the same thing on larger galaxy sizes. (Don't get much playing time so haven't been able to try anything above medium as yet).
If I had to pick one single favourite thing about the game - it would be this ability to come from 2nd or 3rd back to to 1st place.
