Proposed Solution to Mega Evil Empire Problem

[Baron Munchausen]

Changing the way Mega Evil is calculated so that each AI reacts at a different point would be good. Another thing that would be good is a "warning" threshold prior to the "turn against you" threshold and a special set of Messages where the AI can complain about your aggressive expansionism so you know what's happening. These two feature together would contribute greatly to the realism of the Mega Evil feature. Of course, you'd have to allow for neutrals to remain 'neutral' and not be overly prone to turn against the larger empires. Being only one system, they'd be triggered very early in large games.
