Kami of Awakened Dreamers
the AI does a lot more to prevent you from pillaging, but it does not examine anything to determine what it SHOULD be doing. for example, i was using my builder-method and barely warded off an assault from Monty. he wouldn't even talk for 25ish turns and i never even entered his territory. Out of nowhere, Rome assaults me. I knew i was crushed, but thanks to me being smarter than the AI i was able to only lose 2 of 6 cities. I was 4 turns from learning gunpowder. Ghandi wanted my techs to have peace, and by now his army was small enough for me to get ready to enter. Augustus was 3 times my size, but he was ready for peace. Pret heaven going on, and he is going to let me live long enough to get gunpowder.
I also dont know if they knew i was right up on the gunpowder, but i hope they didn't, because if i was on the verge of crippling someone with Pretorians - who was on the verge of learning gunpowder... well, would you let them live?
It didn't seem like he had a goal in entering the war - he just wanted to attack the most vulnerable person, which happened to be me. Ghandi was also unprovoked but it was my fault for not taking any diplo measures.
