@sephi i had a similar issue i play an a large map but with only an amount civs for a standard size map and using the erebus continent mapscript (the best there is) i enabled city ruins:
this means a lot of space for a lot of necropolises. my armageddon counter jumped from 2 to 29 in one turn.
(i don't actually mind that i am just saying the map setup can play a huge factor, there even is no civ using the ashen veil)
i am going to report one weird ai issue however: the malakim usually research all religions (except ashen veil) wich is good, but then they always switch between them, which is bad especially if they build any units belonging to a religion.
