I don't remember the AI winning a conquest, domination or diplomatic victory in any of my Civilization 4 matches.
I always wondered why you could sometimes capture a size-1 city and other times you couldn't. You learn something new every day(except in the "this city has only ever had 1 population" auto-raze case, of course)
Functionally, I don't think the AI can win conquest without lots of luck from barbarians, as the AI never razes cities (except in the "this city has only ever had 1 population" auto-raze case, of course). So the AI would have to go on the warpath very early to take out the other civs before the total land settled meets the domination requirement, and in practice AI civs REX too fast for that to happen.
