About VP in solo mode : what I do now is to give only VPs for capitol, with victory when a player get more than 50% VPs.
So AI really defend and attack them, and it also permits a shorter game than "standard", conquer-the-world, conditions.

One thing about the victory points though - you the player can see them, whereever they are on the map. (I kinda think it might be nice if you had to scout out the locations myself) And since the AI doesn't pay attention to VPs, the human player knows where the capitols are and can plan accordingly - suspect the AIs don't reciprocate.
