I've dabbled with a bit of modding for vanilla RTW, and I've changed these two parameters many, many times for each faction. I play with fow disabled so I can see the effects of my modding. I've never noticed any marked difference in faction behavior. I tend to believe that the values set in each factions "building preference" determines more what a faction builds, and being aggressive or passive is influenced more by turn-to-turn circumstances.

As I've never done a statistical analysis, this is all conjecture, of course.
