Something I have seen twice since the patch, but never saw prior, is ally CS now going to war with me against a common enemy. Committing troops into enemy land was nearly unheard of but this weekend Manilla actually captured Washington, leaving only one AI capital left.
Ok I did all the city pounding and I left the Washington with no city health to see if Manilla would attack with its two melee units. The fact they captured a city, let alone a capital is unseen from me in over 700 hours of play.
Also noticed the Coup's are not constant and the AI civs all use their gold rather than horde it. I have seen a remarkable increase in Naval units being sent against me and most seemed to be purchased (I had cities encircled, taking out Korea's Navy and every turn Busan and Soeul were buying Turtle boats for me to sink) Still far from perfect (ai diplo and combat ability still way short of intellegent) but some things are much better.
