Since this now seems to be a bug I will post it here.
I am having exceptionally passive AIs, unless I attack first the AI will not attack me until Ideologies, even if I have a very weak army.
This is on Emperor Difficult, CSD included by not CivIV diplomacy. No other mods.
Anyone else having this problem?
It is intended, actually. I set it that way to test the mechanic, and left it because I forgot about it.

Yep. My initial test was "hey, wouldn't it be cool if 'exotic' trade routes were worth more, as the goods being sold are more rare?" This punishes continued tourism, though, so I intended to change it but failed to do so.
Is the trade route tooltip working correctly?
G
The traderoute tooltip is working correctly, the Tourism screen tooltip is working correctly for every state except exotic(for some reason)
There's no existing 'drop' for exotic (as bonuses in vanilla start after exotic), so I'd have to add one if we want/need it.

That's better, at least.
Do you keep your logs running when you play normally? I ask because, if I recall correctly, one of the logs records AI approaches towards other civs. The problem seems to lie in one of the three categories:
Alright I may have had a breakthrough!
I tried the game with Civ IV diplomacy on. And I went for the gusto, played Ghandi vs every war civ in the game!
I got next to Monte too. I wound up killing every military unit I had, making me the most tempting target in the history of man.
It still took him till turn 167, but he finally pulled the trigger!
I still consider that pretty damn passive considering how vulnerable I was, but its better than what I have seen in every other game.
I will keep the Civ IV diplomacy on for my next test games and see if I see an uptick in aggression.
Getting some random CTD in my current game, heres the dump:
Here's to hoping!
