The 1st thing usually happening to me is that one or two of the major AIs declare war against me (sometimes even when they're way out of range) earlier, I guess due to idelogical diffs and me building up my military late.
But the major AIs hardly go into with eachother a war ca. 200+ turns into the game. At best they attack some minor civ.
Is this WAD, or does it depend on any settings? Difficulty perhaps? It makes those games feel rather static...any word from Stardock on this?
I'm playing 1.71, but without mercenaries if that plays a role...
