I should say that all the problems I've been seeing have used

1400 stars
Scarce colonies
Rare independents

So all empires are rather spread out and thus civilian ships have to travel quite a bit more.

What do you mean? There are at least two ways to get Way of Ancients/Darkness. You can get it either from investigating ruins (which anyone can do - so statistically it's more likely the AI will discover it this way than the player) or the special base, which the AI doesn't ever investigate.

Strange. I've never gotten Way of the Ancients from ruins or seen AI empires have it. You can get Way of the Darkness from the ruins, and I've seen AI empires have it several times.

Nothing is impossible, not if you can imagine it!

I'm quite certain that I've gotten it more than once in a game. Once from investigating ruins quite early in the game, and later from the star base. If it happens again, I'll make sure to screencap it. However, it should be simple enough for Erik or Elliot to answer this query for certain.

I also remember getting it multiple times from both sites and bases

Then it seems that I may have just been (un)lucky not to see this. Could it be that the Way of the Ancients has different, much smaller possibility of showing up on some random ruins than the Way of the Darkness. Interesting to see.

I'm not certain but from what I remember there is no difference from WotA and WoD in this respect. I don't have saved games available, it should show up in the messages.
