Frothing mad multiplayer AI

[Tlalynet]

I've been playing a series of LAN games with human and AI players. Its CivIII PTW with the latest patch. We're on the fourth game and in every game the AI seems to be tripped out warmongers as if we had some kind of 'always war' or 'super aggressive AI' option on. Every single time the option to declare war comes up the AI takes it. It could and has be a one city AI sending a settler party to some ice in the middle of nowhere and they will DoW rather than leave the territory. It could be a threat for a world map and 25 gold from an inferior nation while the human has a massive army build up and is preparing to war with someone else. Every human player is routinely at was with every AI in the game at once, and the vast majority of the game is war (peace is at best 4 turns until there is another threat or border violation)

I've played a couple single player games with this patch just to see, and I've had no problem keeping the peace even when I step on peoples toes a lot. Does anyone know whats going on? We want the AI's to fill space so we can have a larger map but it kind of turns into multiple single player games because everyone is constantly at war with AI's anyway.

Interesting. We are currently playing a PBEM game based on the World War I scenario. (See the PBEM forum, thread "TGW 1.6".) Here we let the AI play the Neutral section (Switzerland, Spain, Skandinvia etc), while the Humans took over the War nations.
Very early in the game, the Neutrals declared war on everybody!

Tigranes said, he found a way to fix this, but I don't know the details. Perhaps he can share it with you (or perhaps he has already posted it in the Customizing & Creation forum.)

That's an interesting PBEM game, if he's fixed the problem I couldn't find how he did it by serching, I might just have to ask him.

That really goes adds to what I was saying anyway, lowest level of aggressiveness and only regent level, and they DoW'ed first threat. That makes for a truer World War don't you think? Everyobodys involved, there can be no neutrality
