Due to Tech Cost Inflation, AI Tech Specialization is AWFUL

from GalCiv3 Forums

The problem is all those stupid military techs that they're so fond of getting early game.  

Instead of getting Militarization, which they're not going to use anyways for a long time, they should instead get useful things like better engines or Manufacturing bonuses.  

In fact, due to Tech Cost Inflation, getting those useless techs is literally counter productive and SERIOUSLY gimp AI research for a loooooong time.

Tech cost inflation is a bit harsh atm really, and could do with being decreased some. I find myself running with around 70% of my worlds dedicated to nearly pure research (keeping around 20 manufacturing on the wheel for the building upgrades) just to keep the techs coming in at one per 6 turns. The AI clearly doesn't specialize as well as I do, and so quickly falls behind, so by mid-game I've got an insurmountable lead.

How does the AI choose what to research anyway?
