AI and his stupid war's

[apocalypse105]

Is it just me or does it benefit the AI more if he just stay in one war. Instead of making the game harder by dowing everyone


In civ 4 the AI usalyl makes peace with 1 civilization if they are in several wars.
It usally allways makes sure he has only 1 war going.


In civ 5 it seams the Ai is just suicidal and just dows 2 of their neighbours at once and even the human player whats the deal with this?


What is the AI thinxing if he DOW just 3 people and do you thinx it would help the AI if it just focussed on one war especially if it is against the human player


What Point I am trying to make is the Ai should not declare war on someone if he is allready at war with a person his strenght

Haven't seen that before (were the two civs they declared on in a defensive pact?), but given the AI's lack of common sense it wouldn't be surprising

It usually happens with Montezuma. He always (no really, always) builds up an early army and then drives himself into the ground by declaring war on all of his neighbors.

There does seem some sense to the AI's desire for war as i have noticed that when they are fighting a war againts more than one opponent they become more interested in peace and offer more favourable terms.

The small amount of info provided does make the AI behaviour seem odd in itself but there are many factor not mentioned that can make the AI seem less odd.e.g. how big is their army compared to their opponents, are their opponents friendly and thus it is likely they will end up with multiple enemies anyway,etc.

They do it because the voices in their head tell them to. At least it seems like that a lot of the time.

It seems incredibly stupid to us but I guess it has some basis in history. Napoleon invaded Russia while at war with much of Europe. Hitler did the same. More recently, the U.S. invaded Iraq while still at war in Afghanistan. It might seem logical to us to take things one war at a time but I guess not all leaders think like that.

Here, the "collective AI" may in desperation be trying to strengthen China by suiciding the dying Egyptians into it.
