Just experienced some strange AI behavior and wanted to know if anyone else has seen something similar.
I'm playing a King-level game as the Shoshone, in the Information Era, a few parts away from a completed spaceship. I have the most techs and the largest army, everyone has chosen Order (I was first), and I have a DoF with every civ except Austria (who was Friendly with me).
Suddenly, every single one of my DoF partners pops up with "Afraid" status and starts going on about what a great leader I am, while Austria turns to Guarded status. Negative modifiers have suddenly appeared for Austria and some of the "Afraid" civs. The Iroquois think I am a warmonger even though I haven't fought anyone for centuries and they have annexed Venice (usually par for the course, but a bit strange to start the accusations this late in the game).
Has anybody else had late-game mass groveling from the AI? Even the Celts, Carthage, and Assyria are afraid of me, and I'm not that much more powerful than they are. Is this some new AI backstab ruse (instead of the incredibly transparent Hostile > Friendly > Backstab cycle from G&K)? Or just a freak diplomatic occurrence?
