This takes off a chunk of fun knowing you are about to be attacked from all sides. While AI does declare on each other, but after few turns the diplomacy screen shows player at war with every AI while not all AIs are at ear with each other. Even seemingly logical border sharing enemies dont declare war.

Anyway to make it a bit more realistic and to give the player a genuine feel of fair game rather than a handicap match.

I play the steam version. Thanks.

Yes, it kind of gets to "cheat" by "knowing" how many powerpoints you have in a region, and makes an estimation that it can "take you". Also, the AI aggressiveness is governed by rulevar 903. The larger this is, the more aggressive it will be. Whether there is code so that they will gang up on you, I can't say. I think not. I am generally looking at random games with two regimes. But, having a map where you have several borders with AI regimes could be challenging.

There is also the random personality, so, some AI regimes might be more aggressive.

I have found that the AI be quite timid at times. If you make a strong defensive line, the AI will actually leave you alone.

You can try to implement a diplomatic block to try and give yourself some breathing room. But, you find that the AI might think you are too tough to take on. You could also try a simple event that starts with rulevar 903 being small, and increase it each turn.

The AI has several advantages, such as free strategic movement, that give it a leg up on human players in the early going.

Status: offline 		Ok I am gonna check the Rulevar 903 and try reducing it a bit. However how to increase it each turn like you mentioned is beyond me. Thanks again.

They do play a bit like a human and they will have a tendency to join 'the pack of hyenas' if some regime is being overwhelmed.

Best wishes,
Vic
