What are the AI Weaknesses?

[NTJedi]

Besides having trouble with Finite Resources what are some other AI weaknesses? I'd like to avoid/prevent using a technology, map or strategy where the AI is unable to counter or fight back... in other words as fair as possible.

I search the forum on "AI Weaknesses" but only found topics related with SpaceEmpires_4.

A re-post from SE5.com:

These are recommended settings for solo games using the Balance Mod:

With specific reference to BM, the AI isn't so great at managing multiple war fronts, particularly with matching specific vehicle types against specific empires. They do have some ability to adapt their vehicle designs against their enemy, but a broader strategy adjustment routine is in the works for v1.20.

Simultaneous mode is generally more fair to the AI, since they are not able to react to new information gained during the movement phase of a sequential movement game.

Although Alliances are working better in the latest SE5 patch, the BM AI hasn't been optimized for working within an alliance, although they can vote somewhat intelligently.

The primary AI weakness is not being a human. You should play multiplayer if you want a challenging game.

I agree, I primarily play all games as multiplayer with friends and family... sometimes we play with AI opponents, thus the main reason I seek for providing the AI opponents as fair of a game as possible. Eventually we provide the AI extra advantages.
