How AI evaluates Trades?

[CombatSquirrel]

I am just testing this, and I do not yet have a clear picture of how the program determines if a trade is valuable or not to an AI opponent. It seems to take real junk sometimes and I wonder how effective it is at understanding the importance of tech levels, and how much it values comm channels and such... I know that you can mod under the AI files what percentage of value in both sides of a trade the AI will accept, but no way to affect the method of its evaluation.

So my question is :
"How Do It Do the VooDoo That it Do?"

Kind of a sweeping question, I know, but it is puzzling. I am looking for insight. Insight, or anecdotes of the trade oddities.

Inquisitively,
