while Sepsu does do the tactics that make him fearsome and he likes economic ties and growth, I don't like him being so friendly with other factions, especially the Crimson Comrades.
Some of the more experienced coders and other folks similar like Yitzi
So what I'm getting from this is that there's not some secondary source of AI behavior beyond alphax.txt and the individual faction .txts, and all of that said behavior can be traced to some value or toggle in one of those two files.
Sadly, too, Kyrub does most of his work for SMAC and despises the expansion. He also considers his work done and is not on any forums atm.

Unfortunately, we can not see that. Only one attempt for SMAX AI improvement has been made. That is Kyrub's SMAX patch PLUS. It only addresses AI terraforming on a basic level. It taught them to use a condensor, but sadly, no one has taught the AI proper crawler use.Sadly, too, Kyrub does most of his work for SMAC and despises the expansion.
