from Sins Forums
Sorry for my English.
Where are the files for modding AI
For example: make to build more capitals ship and less frigate and cruiser.
Thanks.

Most likely hardcoded. None of the existing files can mod the empire AI. There are a few misc ways to mod combat AI (ability use triggers on % damage, etc), but that's it.

This is at the end of gameplay.constants. It's not quite as fine grained as what you are asking for but -- outside of annatar's suggestion -- it's the only place I've seen so far for modding the AI.

Yeah, this is more of defining the AI personalities, weighing generic "strategies". Thanks for pointing it out though, I did forget that was in there :)
