I'm wondering if anyone has chosen Autocracy while pursuing something other than a conquest victory. Each ideology has three victories that it has advantages for but autocracy is the one that is most obviously suited to one specific victory.
I can think of two reason you'd take autocracy but not go for a conquest victory. You could set out for a conquest victory and then find a enemy that you can't beat so you have to try another victory type. Or some big cultural power could take autocracy first and so you can't take anything else without ending up in revolution, so you can still make use of it for two others.
As for the AI, I can think of at least two civs that would likely take autocracy but be better suited to non-conquest victories. France is best suited for culture but Napoleon's personality is more towards conquest. Same with Greece being good for diplomacy but Alexander being the aggressive type.
