Yah, there definitely needs to be some AI agression change. All 4 empires I've discovered just wants to make deals with me; I had to be the one to declear war. And when I reject the deal they offer they will spam me with different treaty proposals every one or two turns.

At turn 123, all the 9 empires, except those 4 who had crystalline/organic technology, were using Level 1 Armor, Shields, DUCs and Sensors. In other words, they're not doing so well in combat.

The Organic and Crystalline races on the other hand, were actually doing really well, one guy having level 8 Organic Weapons and level 10 Organic Armor.

So it appears empires wont actually research weapons and armor unless they've got Org/Cryst technology, and even then they're still not researching sensors and shields.
