It is intended to give a nudge to the AI to prefer one selection over another.

what sort of selections? like building preferences or like personality or something?
It can be used for many things. We ran some AU games on Poly years ago where the BIX (I think it was PTW) was modified to use flavors for research and maybe build queue. It was long ago, so I am not real clear. The idea was to try to make the AI a little stronger.

anywhere i can read about these flavors?
Not sure, if the threads are still around. You could go to Apolyton and do a search. Really they are not worth worry about.

ah ok so say rome has flavor 1 and you make the Pyramids flavor 1 then they would build the pyramids before any other wonders?
I don't know exactly how it works, but I think it's like they'd be more likely to build the pyramids instead of another wonder, but it's not foolproof.

yes ok thank you ill probably use flavors then.
Yes it is just a nudge, but not a guarantee. I just remember that after a number AU course, sort of like GoTM, it was not really forcing the AI to make the choices that they wanted it to make.
