[Captain Kwok]

Don't worry, research will be fixed soon. Just a minor issue with the arrangement of techs. The new file I'm building and hope to be finished today will be a lot better.

For AI aggression, it depends on what races you encounter as well. Certain races like the Abbidon, EEE, Phong are friendly and peaceful and less likely to attack. Others like the Jraenar, Sithrak, Xiati, Xi'Chung are in theory more aggressive - but I will make some more tweaks though so they are more aggressive and get angry over your ships and planets more. That should help with them declaring war.

Has anyone seen the AI proposing treaties with dentrimental conditions? What about stellar manipulation conditions? I made a quick change so that they should only propose those later on when they have the tech.
