Has anyone noticed if there is less AI conquest-oriented aggression if during the setup you did NOT include Domination as one of the available Victories? Like if you include Mongolia or Zulu, etc., but because Domination is no longer a goal, they aren't nearly as warlike.
 
I believe that there is an entire level of the AI, the grand strategic AI, dedicated to determining how to win the game. If domination is not an option for winning the game, then I certainly imagine the AI will be less aggressive, at least when purely for the purpose of furthering the victory goal of domination - conquest can still help the other victory conditions, however.
