Default Re: Diplomatic Triggers
In all seriousness, sounds like you tripped the "Mega-Evil Empire" (MEE) trigger. Look in "Settings.txt"; there's a setting for MEE, (I think it's 170 for default). The setting is used as a percentage; when your score is (for example) 170% (or 1.7 times, or 70% higher than) the second place player's score, MEE kicks in. I think the setting is 250 for AI's, so an AI would have to have 2.5 times the second place player's score to become MEE.

There's been a lot of debate here about it; do a search on MEE or Mega-Evil Empire.

BTW - you can also turn this feature OFF at game setup...
