Question to AI Modders:

Regarding my Last post. Is this the reason why some of you have increased the trade percentages to high values, because the AI cannot determine if it can make use of a racial tech ?

Actually, you can cheat the AI with trades quite easily. For example, you could give an early AI Anti-Proton-Beams level 1. As higher level APBs are way down the research list the AI will now use the weak APB for quite literally 100 of turns where it was supposed to use PPBs until the high APBs are researched. To prevent this, I have increased the trade value requirements for my AIs. I have also taken some precautions that the AI will not design useless ships but it is not fool proof.
