Changing AI - is it possible?

Is it possible to change some AI features:
- Stars and planets position during the creation of the galaxy, i.e. does it possible to create a galaxy with equal distants from one star to another, or two groups of stars in the contrary sides of the galaxy?
- The AI tactick. Can I force him to build only scouts or researchers and no colony ships? concentrate on one branch of techtree? send no separate ships but only fleets? smth like this?
- Does the population growth model changeable?

Erm, only one of those is an AI feature.

1: I think it's possible to mod custom maps. Don't know how though.

2: No. Or rather, you can attempt to by giving the techs you want them to research a higher priority, but you can't mod the AI to change it's research tactic.

3: No.

I think he's German. As AI has a differnt meaning to them. I just noticed how he spelled his name and "Tactick" has a k.
I forget what they use for their Artificial Intelligence, but it's not AI.

And just so you understand what we think of as AI:

AI is the decision making algorithm by a computerized opponent. This is true for all games across the board.

Things like the growth model and the universe creation would be considered separate algorithms inside of the game.
