Bongo,
I would have sent out more suicide curraghs/galleys to find the other AIs much earlier, but I do agree that one of the biggest things on Emp (for me anyway) is that it's quite impossible to do everything by yourself (ie. research & wonders) and that you have to let the AI do some of the work. Besides, especially for research (which basically affects whether or not you beat the AI to wonders), to be ahead, you have to outresearch the AI and all of the AI's trade partners, which is really quite tough considering the bonuses they get.
