Aggressive AI?

[Lord Ben]

If I select Aggressive AI will they be aggressive against only me, or against everyone?

I'd like there to be consolidation of the other parties somewhat so I face giant globe spanning empires instead of 15 different nations of 8 cities each. Aggressive AI, if they fight each other, seems to fit the bill.

If not, is there any other way to do this?

Good question if they are more aggressive to each other or not? My guess would be that they are not.

Alternatively, you can get a more aggressive AI by keeping a good number of primative units and a nice war chest to upgrade them when the AI declares war!

Depends. In every case, the AI will be more willing to train units and to go to war.
In vanilla and warlords, the aggressive AI introduces a bias against the human. It disappears in BTS.

Well, I played a game today with aggressive AI. Kublai Khan had 3 other civ's as vassel states.. yikes. I guess he's more aggressive to other computer controlled civ's as well as me.

In BTS they put more emphasis on military units as opposed to Vanilla and Warlords where they just disliked humans more.

Still, I don't notice a huge difference with aggressive AI on in BTS. I suppose they have more units, but a lot of the time it ends up hurting their economy and can make it easier :/

AI in BTS is heavy than on predecessors piecemeal!
