Default Re: Does the AI use creative tactics?

Here is another example that suggests the AI benefits from info advantages:

1) The AI had a force of 45 ships in the square adjacent to a warp point that was a choke point into my empire,

2) I had a fleet of superior force - 40 ships but of much more combat strength than that of the AI - sitting on the warp point serving as a "cover force" for

3) Another 10 ship fleet on the warp point of 5 shipyard ships that were building defense bases and 5 other warships serving as close escort.

The three fleets sat there, without any combat, for several turns. I then selected "attack" for the cover force against the AI force. The result was that the AI force moved into the warp point square, destroyed the 10-ship fleet and was destroyed by my 40-ship fleet next.

Thus, the AI "knew" impossibly that I had ordered my cover force to attack and "impossibly" slipped through it to attack the weaker force.
