Reply to Please explain why the AI isn't broken in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I made a couple of posts recently roughly to the same effect as yours. The AI in ToA is thoroughly idiotic, despite the numerous claims to the contrary. It's very passive, responds poorly to player actions, does many *very* stupid things, and in general can't see the (strategic) forest for the trees.

So, I've recently picked up the GC2: The Ultimate Edition. I had never played any of the GalCiv games before, but decided to give it a try based on the many positive reviews. One thing that the reviews cited in particular was a superior, challenging AI that GC2 supposedly has. This was a big selling point for me, since most 4x games are ruined by brain-dead computer opponents that don't take proper advantage of a game's many nuances and fail to provide a good challenge for
