Good morning / evening ladies and gents,
Today I had a small realisation about AI declarations of war. This is a working theory, but I've seen some evidence of it so I thought I would share it so others may also provide their own experience.
General theorem :
( see freezy's post below )
Likelihood of AI declaration of war increases with the size of your army ( the larger your army, the lower your popularity with the so called AI-Union).
Corollary :
Likelihood of AI declaration is offset by the size of your army. The larger the army in comparison to the AI's own military strength, the lower the likelihood.
In the past few games I've seen the AI declare on countries that more popular than me on paper, but had been weakened by recent conflicts. So I wonder if the AI is programmed to only proactively declare wars they have a possibility of winning.

We're always looking for top players to play together and learn from. Apply to Tokugawa Bakufu ( alliance code : KIOTO ) if you are a like-minded individual and wish to improve your game.
