In the settings file for some of the TDM races
I noticed that the max intel and research numbers
were fairly low - 200,000.

If we want to give the AI as much help as possible
why not set them to higher numbers. Why set a
low limit?

One reason might be to keep the AI from building an excessive number of those facilities, at the expense of something the AI needs more of.

Hadn't thought of that, thanks

I have found it to be more challenging to increase those numbers to 500K.

I have also tweaked the facility construction file. I noticed the AI tries to build the planet
and system bonus facilities first, even on moons. By making them 7th, 8th, 9th, they can be restricted to larger planets.
