AI becomes stronger as the game progresses
Transforms into a galactic crisis in late stages

Coordination among AIs:
Formation of alliances against strong players
Joint operations and intelligence sharing
Diplomatic support

Psychological Operations:
Sabotage and propaganda
Demoralization of player populationMarket manipulation

Endgame Mechanics:
Transformation of AI into a galactic crisis
Technological singularity
Immortal leaders and super-intelligence
