AI fanatical about attacking formers? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I had a game that I was playing, and I had reached the point that I could have trancended at any point. The AIs were still quite aways away from that, so I decided to play cat and mouse with them. I started pumping out fully armored formers on cruiser chasis, and sending them off to auto-clear fungus (same trick with much more expensive gravships to get the fungus on the land) to see if I could clear all of the fungus from Planet before winning. Well, the AI started targeting every one of my formers, even though they'd loose without doing any real damage.

Admittedly, there weren't any softer targets out there, but I had kept the military at home for the entire game, so it's not like they felt preasured into attacking. Doesn't the AI realize when it's making a suicide attack?

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Once while I was playing Lal, I forgot about one of my fringe bases (I just keep on ICS-ing ) and all that base had was a synthmetal sentinel. Now University pronounced Vendetta and sent a Chaos Needlejet and a Chaor Rover to the base. My first thought was "Oh Sh*t!" but guess what the dumb AI did? I attacked the two nearby formers.

Yes the AI can be even dumber than you'd expect at times.

Computer always seems to attack the closest units available, or the unit that is otherwise most vulnerable. AI is always destroying my formers and crawlers. It's an annoyance but not lethal and just gives me time to counter attack. Stupid.

*reminds self to send in armored formers with next invasion force*

It could be that the AI attacks the most dangerous unit around in terms of attack and defense power. We all know how dangerous formers can be, folks. No, seriously.
