But you can reason with the AI ! Usually on the lines of : "Look what a huge army I have on our common border, why don't you go beat up someone else for a while ?". The AI is fairly good at picking those hints.

As to why I don't use that army to attack the AI, the answer is usually that all my economy is neede in beating the other AI on the other side, and I can't spare the resources to expand elsewhere at the moment.

I like the idea of feeding the computer pointless, even self-defeating magical items. Can I make him put fever fetishes on his commanders?

You can spare the resources to have a huge army that simply sits there and eats food and drinks beer, but you can't spare the resources to use it? Wouldn't that mean that the area you're sitting that huge army in is a fairly open one, and therefore, most of your border is exposed anyway?

Hmm. Never made him put a fever fetish on his commander, but I managed to get him to stick two magical eyes on his god once.
