Question about AI Tired of ads?

I was wondering if the AI actually knows what type of victory to aim for. I mean, if I only have one type of victory selected, lets say space race... will the computer actually try to beat me or will it play the same as it always does and just try to build a competent civilization? and will it go all out trying to kill my "king" if i select regicide? I hope i phrased this question so you can understand.
thanks

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

AFAIK the Civ3/PTW AI can't cope with regicide or elimination games and doesn't really adjust to having some of the normal victory conditions turned off.

In my experience the AI doesn't pursue cultural victory specifically and rarely calls UN votes (read never if the Germans or Zulus build the UN). The AI will build the spaceship if it can.

The Conquests AI is supposed to be improved but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I've seen the Russians win UN victory on a large map in the 1800s.

This was a debug game where I was on an isolated island uninvolved and it's essentially the AI playing against itself.

Also, really large AI superpowers, can win cultural victory.

In my current C3C game, the AI can also be very agressive when it comes to building spaceship.
