Yes, and every single time experienced players have shown how the "problem" can be avoided. Just because people keep posting about it doesn't make it any more of a coding issue. This particular thread hasn't even focused on the various diplomatic solutions to AI aggression... or the fact that some AI tend to denounce all serial aggressors (including Askia). There are more than enough resources in CFC to show anyone how to deal with situations like the OP's. You don't have to use them, and you have every right to complain over and over again... but don't expect Firaxis to address your problem just because you do.
exactly. I used to have a problem with the warmonger penalty until it was explained to me how the AI thinks and works and then I had no problem with it. It's another part of the game, to be played with from the word go so in the event of war, the world is on your side. On a logical basis, Browd as nailed, as he usually does.
In any case, all OP and apocalpyse seem to do is complain about the warmonger penalty, so even if there was a problem, it's a boy who cried wolf scenario
