Say I see a big enemy stack moving in my direction before a DoW. Can I give gifts to that AI to change their mind about attacking me before they arrive? I've tried it before and it doesn't seem to work, so I was wondering when the AI decides to attack or how to deflect it if you see it massing units near you.
 
they make up their minds to attack you and they won't change it unless somebody else attacks them. you can't bribe them to attack someone else since they have "enough on our hands right now" once they make the decision, sometimes for 20+ turns. that's actually why sometimes they declare at Friendly. they make the decision to declare while they're only Pleased with you. then you get to Friendly during their preparation but they'd already decided so no change in plans, bullseye still on you.

if you don't want them to come beat you up, try bribing somebody else into attacking them is my best advice. good luck!
