It kind of surprises me that, with all the great articles in the war academy, there is nothing about why the AI attacks.
So I was wondering what people thought or if anyone had done any digging.
I assume that factors include:
Military power (an AI with a larger military than you is more likely to attack)
Attitude (a furious AI is more likely to attack)
Score (an AI with a lower score is likely to see you as a threat, an AI with a higher score may see you as an opportunity)
Strategic/luxury resources (an AI without oil may attack you to get it)
Need to expand.
The UU - it seems that AI's often get into wars when their UU is available.
AI Aggressiveness level (Bismark is more likely to attack than Joan)
These things interplay, though. I was reading someone (sorry - dont' remember who) who tried a no military approach. It didn't work on lower levels, perhaps because they were ahead in score but weak in military, but worked on Deity, because they were behind in score - basically, they were no threat to AI.
Anyone looked into how these things interplay?
