What's the deal with AI planet capturing?

[Q]

Devin I use TDM Mod combined with my own modification of CueCappa, Phong and Borg (posted in the mod section). The situation I described happened, when at about turn 250 I was number 1 with mega evil empire status and in fact had won the game. At that time I switched all remaining empires to manual and surrendered them all to the Borg (which have the most dangerous technology trait: assimilation) thus creating one mega AI empire as strong as mine!
I can only recommend this trick to create a really huge AI empire.
Oh I almost forgot: it was maximum difficulty but only low bonus for the AI in my game setting.
