Aggressive AI

[Armeion]

I'm currently playing on Noble. I'll probably have to up the difficulty to get this, but I figured that I mind as well ask.

In every single one of my games, the AI just seems to stand there and not attack me unless I've really ticked them off. I've played Civ3 and I remember the days of frequent wars and battles, a lot of which started by the AI. I don't think I've had a single AI-declared war yet.

Is there any option or mod to make the AI more aggressive?

custom game, check agressive AI...

they'll attack you if they calculate your military strength to be underpar.

I feel very, very dumb now. Thanks anyway, though. =P

But what exactly does "underpar" mean? I don't exactly neglect my military..

Basicly the Agressive AI option makes the AI choose to attack you if the Gap in military strength is closer to even.

Without it the AI doesn't attack unless you make them completely mad or they have a 2:1 military strength over you. With the Aggressive AI on i have had them declare war on me just because i refues tribute... even though i had the stronger military

That's what he meant. The AI will now only attack when it sees that it can gain enough to justify the costs. If your military is strong, then the AI will rarely attack you, because it thinks it will be too costly to build up enough military force to actually harm you.

The "Aggressive AI" option will make the AI a little more likely to start risky wars.
