How do you get AI players to dislike another AI player?
I am a fairly new player and I tend to play in a highly peaceful manner. One reason is that when I attempt to play more aggressively I soon end up completely isolated and everyone hates me.
I've noticed that sometimes one of the AI players plays aggressively and tends to get a lot of Ire from the other AI's and when you join in those wars you don't tend to get a reputation hit from the other players so much.
In my last game, I finished off the Greeks who seemed to be at war with just about everybody but once they were gone everybody seemed to love everybody else. As soon as I denounced the Ethiopians I got everyone else's backs up. Suddenly everyone shuts off their borders and stops trading with me.
How do I play in a Machiavellian way such that I can pick off the AI players one by one without becoming the focus of everyone's ire? Are there things you can do to get AI players to start disliking each other?
