Can computer AI opponents "see" the scorecard when it is disabled?

His remark still makes perfect sense. In a 1v1 game the AI may as well ignore the scoreboard since it doesn't have to worry about balancing its resources between several opponents/wars at once. A 1v1 game doesn't prove anything about the way the AI would behave in (far more common) multiple-opponent situations.

Kris already told us that the graph isn't used by the AI.

The AI does not take the graphs in consideration. I can't think of how it would use it.

Hmm, he's strong, lets avoid him - hmm, he's strong, lets attack him before it's too late.

Thank you.

Well, then what the heck make an AI on the other side of the planet, across an ocean it can't cross (yet), and with no contact whatsoever, declare war on you ? If it's not the graph, it has to be purely random ??
