How do I get the AI to invade my planets instead of Glassing them?

[MKSheppard]

Newbie modder here trying to make a custom AI
that works with my special mod...

I really want to fix it so that the AI is
more ruthless, and invades planets instead of
simply glassing them.

Make sure troops are researched fairly early, have troopships designed using a standard ship hull instead of a transport, ensure a large number of troops are built in the construct vehicle and construct units files, don't reduce thier physical strength (only takes about 150 sm troops to take a homeworld when you have raised yours to 110, and thiers is only 50). Look at the Orks, Aquilians, Vikings, and Zorians.
