Re: Treaty Problems
That sounds reasonable...though, as I said, I'm sure the MEE is not the issue here.
I suspect my (not very effective) style of play is partly responsible, then...I have a tendency (carried over from other C3C games) to expand very quickly in the early game--even at the expense of my military. Assuming I don't get creamed early by a nearby warlike empire, I wind up with a very healthy economy and a minimal military force. Though I can usually build up an army on very short notice, AIs rarely understand this, and think "easy and tasty prey"--which is sometimes true, sometimes not, depending on the game. However, SE3 didn't do this, at least not to this degree, and I suppose I was expecting 4 to be the same.
I still don't understand why a brotherly AI won't sign a non-aggression treaty, though.
