I believe that the AI now is conditioned to only ever attack if the target holds territory in their conquest zones. I'm on my phone right now and so don't have the conquest maps pulled up to check, but that might be part of it.I don't talk in terms of good or bad. I'm paying attention to the AI's strategy changes, and I'm currently playing as Italy in the year 1700. The Ottoman Empire is very powerful, with a strength ratio of 0.2 according to intelligence reports. In earlier versions, the Ottoman Empire would have attacked and defeated me (the relationship status was "annoying").
