i find its easiest to keep treaties and get the ai to agree to things when you are considerably stonger than them. the trick is, getting them to follow through on what they agree on.

i was playing the andromeda scenario, and i was able to build up a very strong empire and get everyone to agree to peace. no one would agree unless i had a high point score. but even after they agreed.. and agreed.. and agreed every turn for about 10 turns in a row, they never made peace with each other. so i had to kill them.

i dont think the AI is actually capable of following thru.
