\CTP2_DATA\DEFAULT\AIDATA\Strategies.txt

The Strategies.txt file defines the various strategic states for the AI. See the AI customization document for details on how the strategic states are used by the AI.
The following variables define which cities are to use this PopAssignmentElement. The Top & Bottom flags are mutually exclusive as are the ProductionCities, GrowthCities & GoldCities flags. One flag from each group should be used to specify the type of city to receive this assignment setting. The Default flag is special and should be used on the last PopAssignmentElement.
The following variables control how the AI sets the Rations, Workday & Wages sliders.
The follow variables control Empire level settings.
The following variables control the priorities of goals and usage of units.
The following variables control how the AI builds items in cities.
The following structure defines the Build List Sequence Elements. They are used to determine which build lists should be used in which cities. One element should be defined for each BuildListSequence in BuildListSequences.txt. Only one element can be defined at any time for each sequence. If an element is redefined for a particular sequence then the previous settings will be overridden.
The following variables help control the diplomatic desires for the AI. These are used to set the levels of motivations and fears that help determine when specific diplomatic requests are initiated as well as when high-level strategic decisions are made like when to go to war.
The force match structures define the army strength ration desired before attacking. These can be used to fine tune the win ratio of AI attacks. High force match ratios can guarantee that the AI will win every combat but could end up preventing the AI from attacking if it never has enough force launch a successful attack. The force match setting are refernced from Goals.txt
The following variables control how the AI utilizes it’s nuclear capabilities.
