Alneyan how are the Char. change tests coming along?

Alneyan is making excellent headway QB. However, it will not be totally finished until v4.02 or v4.03 because of the many General AI data changes, I will save this daunting task when all the Modules are near finished and this is when the AI upgrade will be the most productive.

Maybe you should just can the SE4 ship-moved in AI Campaigns high, default and the planet destroyed AIC Random Event zips

This is good logic QB

I don't want to help those nasty Krill in my AIC no-warp game even if they have a culture that gives them -10 Research and Trade.
I notice the Xenophobics don't bother me to much with agreement requests in AIC but the Terrans and the Cue Cappa's +10 Trade Culture will really benifit more then I will Alneyan with Trade and Research agreements I think the Sellega to.

I always say no to the Terrans and Cue Cappa but I like the Sellega AI we always agree.

I try to max out all agreements with the Neutrals I think this is good even though the Cluck gets the advantage

Out of the above list the CueCappa may make best Trade and Research friends, they are Honorable and it will take much for them to break treaties it also not expected the Cue will backstab, unlike the Xiati or the Fazrah.

As Alneyan suggests it is more in the geo placements of the Races, if the Terran or Sellega are far away and an unlikely threat, then sure I will enter a Research with them.

I rarely enter Partnerships; my Rudders are much too valuable.

I will enter a Military agreement if I need a refuel or My Ally needs to refuel their ships in-rout to a shared enemy, or they are trusted and they wish to post a defense fleet over some of my planets. When and if the Military Agreement is not to my best interest I ask for a reduction to a lesser agreement, however sometimes the AI Player may be adamant and wish not to change agreements.

Cluk and Tex are great trade-research and allies.

Nultoh gets a bit stuffy but he is ok.
Zynarra does not want to be bothered

Kitra on the other hand if close demands to much in the way of tribute, so I rarly enter a Research, he is my fav early attack. His Carb breathers fit very well; serving my Hydro Empire
