I'm playing UoP thinker (first game at such a high difficulty) level huge map. I started on a continent by myself so it is thoroughly developed. I've taken a big chunk of the Spartan's but they are still fighting and the Hive, on another Continent by themselves (at least now) are helping the Spartan's. I have the SP that stops drone riots, and just got Cloning Vats wohoo! Oh and I have hunter seeker algorithm Anyway I got all the techs so I bet my social engineering shouldn't be on knowledge any more. What should I change to wealth? Any ideas of the best social engineering choices for my current situation would be appreciated. Thanks for all the past help.

Sometimes wealth gives you more rapid research than knowledge anyway - more tech points needed but more energy production = more tech points.
Anyway I would drop Free Market (If you havnt already) and take Eudamonia (or whatever it is that gives +2 economy). If you have all the techs and dont want to add to your score with the "extra" future tech then probably fundy ( if you need the morale boost ) or demo, green, wealth, eudomonia. Or FM, cybernetic. At this point you should be making so much cash it dosnt really make much difference your almost certainly going to win

Thank you. I'm still FM, I will switch. And I will take Eudamonia. I know I'm going to win, I'm just trying to run up the score. I want to try to max my population for score, and figure a good way to smash Yanf for fun. I like to use copters but he is mostly out of range so I have to take his sea base or build a sea base of my own. Then I can shoot all the defenders with copters and air drop troops into the empty city.

Late game I usually go with Fund/Green/Power/Cyber when playing Gaians. This one does give a -2 to probe, but if you have the HSA, the -2 is only of consequence if you use a lot of probe teams.
