V1.27 - AI Still Seems to always have 4 items in Research Queue

Just started a new game and the AI players seem to be using a 4 tech queue still. I will mod the files a bit to see if changing the settings can force it to reduce the queue, otherwise, its back to my "Filler techs" mod again....

Keep us posted GE. I downloaded Last night but it looks like I may not get a chance(time) to even play a little be4 the weekend.

Have you reported this to MM?

when the AI is using this 4 tech queue, is it also using a divide research points evenly option? if it is, can this be changed in the data files somewhere? (I feel I should know this but I'm ashamed I don't)

Nope, it's not using divide points evenly. That is why, just by making AI rearrange its research queue, AI could use the research the same way most of us do (focus on a particular technology and assign all the remaining research points to the following tech).
