Is the Ai always guaranteed to break aliances?

It's just like life in the Middle Ages! You can't trust anyone ;)

I'd like to think that in the MIddle ages they had more sense than to attack someone without enough troops to overcome them quickly,and they didn't start naval battles that went on forever and only ended with the nation that started it being destroyed,but again there's only so much you can do with the AI as it is.I enjoy when the AI betrays me with a decent army for the challenge,but fighting armies that I can crush easily just annoys me sometimes.

If you want an everlasting alliance, try allying with someone on the other side of the map

I have an XL3 game going now as Kiev, and the Portuguese have been my loyal allies all the way from early through to late era. Our common bond was a deep and abiding hatred of the French who are now sandwiched between us. The French backstabbed me after a long period of alliance, damn I'd even let through their Crusades against the Volga Bulgurs. Such ingratitude.... (after all, if they wanted to set up a buffer state between me and the soon to arrive horde, who am I to stop them )

I have found the key to keeping the AI from breaking alliances...want them to do it. I decided I would have my Danish kings be 'honorable' and not attack any allies, figuring I'd have ample opportunities to whack deserving knotheads when they attacked me, or at least be able to make alliances that would void the ones I wanted out of. Not so...I want to mash the French so bad I can taste it but they are firmly loyal. Meanwhile the English have refused repeated offers to ally with me while the French are thumping them right out of existence for the second time.

LOL. Yeah, that happens too sometimes....
