Why are the Eee the most dominating AI?

Also, the EEE are just so damn friendly. They get happy happy treaties with lots of other AIs and get loads of free trade and research.

Also, that thing about sending out colonisers so far (due to being ancient race) means that they probably make contact with other races a lot more quickly than your average AI.

I hate EEE for this. Every time I make a partnership treaty with AI, sooner or later it will get (sometimes third party) partnership with EEE and I end up with galaxy map. It really kills the enjoenement of discovery and on my computer I changed EEE' ancient trait to advanced storage . Just to keep my games fun as long as possible

Just a note; in my experience, the EEE don't do so well in an "unconnected" game. It might be that they have trouble with being able to see the entire galaxy, but not be able to reach desired systems immediately.

The other thing to note about the EEE is that they like the high-energy weapons; so if you fight them early on, they may be stuck with ripper beams & therefore have the disadvantage of short-ranged weapons. Once incinerator beams or wave-motion guns are available, they're a lot scarier (especially with the new extended-range & combat bonus mounts on weapon platforms).
