AI attitude at aggressive AI setting

[Morgawr]

I just installed the 2/12 build on Warlords 2.08 and started my first game. I'm using the suggested new handicaps, at Monarch difficulty, w/ aggressive AI option. What I noticed is that civs that used to have an "Annoyed" attitude at me on initial contact w/ the exact same settings before (particulary the unfriendly ones with -1 base attitude like Tokugawa, Ragnar, Brennus, etc) are now "Cautious". However I don't see any changes listed to these attitude modifiers in the mod's release notes. And the xml files are the same so I'm wondering what caused this change. Were the attitude formulas tweaked somewhat?
