Weird... AI starts MA for free...

Hi, all,
i've just noticed a strange AI behavour... In a game on huge map, 16 opponents on emperor, I just got 4 MAs for free... I was in war (almost phony), in the beginning of the Middle Ages, and I've got twice free MAs with two civs each time, even some paid me gold. They weren't in war, and they accepted it.
BTW, I just started my first game in huge world (pangeaea) with many opponents and I love it. Isn't it wonderful, I get many phony wars easily that boosts my war hapiness at a higher point... I LOVE WAR HAPINESS And research (by trading) is wonderfull.
Still, those free MA surprised me. Does anyone know how it came?

I believe it's because of your army size and perhaps your territory size as well; was your army considered 'stronger' then theirs when you signed the MAs?

I have no idea about the army, but i have never seen this happen before, even with opponents much weaker than me.
