[Fate]

I have to agree with Vedalken on this one. Why is arbitrarily dividing the territories better than going AI? If the AI is a push-over anyway, can't people just take the provinces? Doesn't that actually INCREASE the strategic interest by forcing players to choose where to commit their forces?

The only other thought I see is to make the AI non-aggressive (or somehow reset them to independants). While interesting, I don't see how it is so bad. Unless the AI has been left a pile of ready-to-use armies I would be surprised if it could mount a capable offensive, so why be worried about attacks which are basically scaled-up random events?

Overall this does not sound like a necessary feature
