I finally made first contact with a race that wants to be my friend...they've been polite and friendly since day one. They honor trade and research alliances, but they never seem to honor a military alliance. I'm holding my own in a brutal war against the Rage Collective, and the race that I'm allied with keeps refusing to honor its military alliance by attacking or declaring war on the Rage. Is this because the Rage is too powerful? Or is it another area in which the AI is lacking...

From what I've seen, rarely do AI races declare war on your enemies when you have a Military Alliance, or even a Partnership treaty. Basically, the only good they are over Trade and Research Alliances is the ability to resupply at your ally's Resupply Depots. It could also be that the AI believes the Rage are too powerful to attack. Maybe if you were at war with a wimpy empire, your ally wouldn't hesitate to go to war with them.

You also should look at the possibility that your ally also has an alliance with the Rage. In that case they probably wouldn't declare war on them just because you asked them to.

I'm by no means an expert, but I hope this helps
