Some AI questions

2) I've played a real long game (about year 2465) until my victory conditions (one player has 200% of second player) were met. Then I looked at the AI designs and saw that they had designs for everything in stellar manipulations with the exception of ringworlds and sphereworlds. But I never saw them use stellar manipulation and I don't know if they actually built these ships.

I've been invaded by the AI ONCE. It was in my current game, actually. I had taken a system from the Terrans but wasn't willing to disperse my fleet to cover every planet, so they slowly came back and glassed several of them. I was quite surprised when one of their fleets came with a medium transport and dropped a mere 7 large troops on one of the planets.

So yes, the computer does use the VERY few troops that it builds, but certainly not often enough. I think the problem lies in the AI_Construction_Vehicles file. The computer is set to only build 1 troop per planet and 1 transport per 10 planets for the Infrastructure setting, and for the Attack and Secure Holdings settings, troops and transports aren't listed at all.
