Dominions_3 Update ?? Release?

[Cainehill]

A question for the devs : will the AI be a little more reasonable in terms of declaring war?

I ask, because I just got reminded of one of the reasons I find playing SP distasteful even for test games : a 267 province map with 13 AI nations : turn 3 I get the news that Pangaea is declaring war on me, when I haven't taken a single province, etc, etc.

Combining this with the AI's penchant for firing seeking arrows, etc, from across a huge map without meeting, this really kills the single player game for me, even when it's just for experimentation.

I agree with Cainehill...
And really hope there will be some "diplomatic options" in DomIII.

i agree because i know there is the whole not mixing religions thing but atleast a temporary truce?

Is this why I have such a rough time against multiple normal difficulty AIs? I just always end up surrounded on so many fronts it is impossible to keep my temples and such protected. Unless I build castles all over the place, which hardly seems fair, since the AI can't build them nor capture them. It seems I can only win on easy difficulty, and only if I can crush a couple nations early to get a fast economy rolling.
