It seems that AIs have naturally preferred ideology and do not just make that decision when they're prompted to. I mean, you can obviously sway them, but it seems they have preferences. This happens BEFORE they select any Ideology.
Example:
I had Freedom, Persia had Order. No one else had an ideology, including India.
India, whom I made host through my votes, proposed Freedom as World Ideology, even though he did NOT have Freedom as an Ideology, yet. Persia is exotic to India. I am unknown. We are all friends, but everyone loves me more.
I proceeded to buy out most of the city states in the next 20 turns and vote it up. Zero diplo penalty to the now 4-civ strong Order coalition dealing with happiness issues, whom I am all DoF with still. =D India eventually picks Freedom, some 50 turns after proposing the World Ideology proposal.
Lucky me. Or does this sort of thing happen often?
