Can AI win with research victory or influence? Someone said no... I'd like to see tshe implementation of this things so AI can do different strategies.

I'm pretty sure they can. In fact, if you look at the changelog for the beta, I think they've included notification so you're made aware when a particular race is going for a tech victory, and the AI is made aware if it's you going for it.

That'll be new then, I think. Up until now, I've been using the tech victory line as trading stock--expensive, with no benefit to them!

I'm pretty sure someone in the past have said that AI can't go for tech win... Someone can confirm this?

In 1.11 AI is sensitive about players going to tech victory, but no mention about using this strategy by AI.

As of 1.2, the AI can win a tech victory.

to the OP
computor has been abiable to win via influence since the begining and it beat me a couple times back then that way.

I've almost been beaten by influence. You get a warning saying basically that you're in danger of vanishing as an independent culture. I managed to hold on through building and upgrading influence starbase just long enough to win a technological victory in the game in question.

Why don't you just conquer the AI? I've always found that the AI (except the two human races) are military crazy. Always they want war war war even if they lose! No matter how many ships I churn out they always have 50x more.

Understand... thanks to all... it is important to me that AI can win in many ways as the human players.

In 1.2 the only victory path not available to the AI should be Diplomacy, as I understand it (well, unless you're in their alliance of course ). I've been beaten by enemy influence, actually. In one of my first games the Drath managed to culturally subvert the entire galaxy.

Oh thanks... i hope even in next patch will include a diplomacy victory as well... but maybe is in... if all pc are allied against you and conquers you they will get a diplomacy victory after they will defeat you...

+ The AI is now allowed to win via a technology victory. A warning dialog is brought up if the AI is going for that tech...similarly, the AI is now informed when a human player is going for a tech victory.

From patch 1.2

Still waiting for my copy arriving home.
