The AI trades tech like mad on 1.17f, which causes devaluation. Once an AI gets a tech, it immediately trades it to almost everyone, thus people end up in the modern age at 1k ad. the more the ai traedes, the cheaper it is for you to buy outright

I've never seen or heard of this. It reminds me of something there used to be in SMAC, which I call "brown-nosing", where people over-micro-manage their empire to get obscene amounts of technology within fifty turns of the start. I'm sure you can do something similar in this game, though I've never done it myself.

I like Micromanagement
