Max AI aggression.

[Zardnaar]

Has anyone else tried adjusting the AI aggression level up to maximum? I'm currently playing a pangea map on emperor with max AI aggression. Changes your tactics alot. Usually you can just declear war on someone and pile most of your offensive units into their territory. At this aggression level someone will usually attack you while your pants are down and the tech pace seems through the roof. If you drag a AI civ into one of your wars through an alliance and bail out after 20 turns theres a good chance the AI civs will still be duking it out after another 50 turns. Its also dogpile frenzy.

Makes the game harder and more challenging without resorting to the insanity of Deity.

I tried it a couple of times but did not like it. The problem is that the never ending AI vs AI wars retards their early growth and infrastracture building - while it may be more fun in the begining, the AIs are actually weaker long term. In my opinion it helps the human more than the AIs, since we can cope better as a pure warmonger than an AI. The only upside I see to it is the possibility of a KAI emerging.

I generally only play it for fun Ision. I wouldn't consider completing a full epic game with it on.
