Well there's your problem. Without Light of the Spire or Ancient Shadows, the only brutal picks available are the Eyes.

All right, I play with all expansions on so frequently that I couldn't remember whether the CPA post and the core raid engine were part of an expansion or not. Thanks!

With all expansions off it actually treats neinzul cockroach spawners as an eligible brutal pick, too (though it can also pick them as non-brutal posts).

Anyway, yea, without LotS or Ancient Shadows, the AI doesn't have toys quite that harsh. Partly because the player doesn't have a lot of toys, too ;) And if you have TZR and CoN off you don't get stuff like the cloaker starship or enclave starship, etc.
