I realized that in semi-isolation, my beloved neighbor most of the time refuses to go for ALPHA (even some science beast like Willem).
Why? Does he have a clue that I am behind anyway and that he won't get any useful trades? Or do AIs decide to go for early Alpha only when they have several potential trading partners?
What to do in that kind of situation? Do you invest extra spy points to see the AI research earlier? Do you tech Alpha on your own? It's such an important tech, especially in a peaceful game, it comes soon to the point where nothing else can be built and where building research 'd come in very handy....
