My understanding is that the AIs will pick a tech to research based on what that tech will provide. So each is weighted according to what units/resources/buildings/wonders/diplo options/etc. they will provide versus cost to research.
That said, the AIs do seem to wander down the same path from game to game."Stuie has the right idea" - Japher
"I trust Stuie and all involved." - SlowwHand
"Stuie is right...." - Guynemer -
nothing hard coded, note the AU mod.
they moved the pyramids to mathematics, and the AI gets that a lot earlier now
the AI seems to have a sense of what it wants/needs, but there are definately standardized patterns for similiar games."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

Well, Oz, I wouldn't mind so much, except that the CFC FAQ on science refers to alexman's posts here on 'poly!
The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.
