Does the AI know how to play regicide?

[SethAdarion]

I've been playing regicide as the Celts on a huge world, and after finishing off 3 strong computer civs quickly by launching fast attacks on their capital to kill their leader, I've been wondering if the AI really knows how to play regicide because they don't seem to have their capital strongly defended, especially if it's right on the border of another country.

Regicide, Elimination, Capture the Princess, Victory Locations are more meant for MP play rather than single player. The AI doesnt' really know what to do and how to do it. They leave the King units and such in the capital. So just go straight for it. Maybe a patch or Conquests will fix that.

They know how to play them but not very well, or not at all

Especially in mass regicide mode, they do not realize they have in fact many free scouts. When I used that trick with expansionist Mongols I was 7 techs ahead of all enemies and all contacts by 3000-3500 BC IIRC. That was on emperor, large map, pangaea. I felt like if I cheated and abandoned this game.
