Interesting. But it seems to me the other way around. Usually the AI is peaceful with me at first then mean later. But it's been awhile since I've played a long single player game besides for my story.

But in actuality the AI state towards you is all decided in its AI data files.

There is a setting in AI files (sorry, forget which one) that directs AI to have only few wars at time (smart thing to do of course). Thus, if AI is aggressive, it starts the war with the first race and makes peace with later contacts. But if AI is moderately peacefull, it may make peace with the first race and only then go to war with someone else. It all depends, you see.
