AIs ganging up on you

[Peter Ebbesen]

Schmoe - correlation does not imply collusion or coordination.

E.g. if you had been weakened in a major way in round 13, each AI neighbour could of its own free will choose to attack you in its orders from round 14 (taking advantage of vulnerability). This might appear to be a coordinated attack to you in round 15, but it would not in any way require coordination or collusion - just rapacious play.

I know Peter, I was trying to be facetious. Sorry 'bout the confusion. I actually had PD > 10 against 1 opponent, and a large army in one of two adjacent provinces to another opponent. The third opponent caught me by surprise and attacked my weak underbelly. <shrug> Oh well, it happens.
