War on friends..

[obsolete]

One thing that really annoys me. It seems even when an AI is pissed at another, and ready to go to war with them because they are opposite religions... if I start the war first I get a negative rating for "You declared war on our friend". ARghghg!!! This doens't make sense..

If I declare war I get in trouble. And if I decided to trade, I then STILL get negative points for "You have traded with our worst enemies!"

I just can't seem to do any right in this department. I wonder if there is some fine line to get around these problems because it seems no matter what I do, at least as far as aggressive AI's are they are upset no matter WHAT YOU DO. Unless you wait for them to ask you to join them in a war. And of course they will sue for peace right after, leaving you screwed anyhow.

I just got big problems because I was stuck on a continent and the 3 other AI's with me were all Aggressive, Ugh!! I was able to beat up Alexander, who was a different religion than everyone else, and of course my supposedly friends all got mad for me picking on their enemy, and then they declared war on me too!

up load a save from such an event. so we can scruntinize AIs petty choice in enemies.

what difficulty was it? AI hates the human player on higher difficulties. are you the same religion as one of those AI? what is the love/hate relationship been like? refused to go to war, open borders bring you closer etc..

in any case, two civs on 1 continent that neither likes you, isnt helping you out much. id go on a hate war and removed/capitulate them both.
