man, the AI is annoying!!

[Yoyoma1910]

Too bad you can't program some 'sense of pride' into the AI so that it would feel kind of dumb to attack with puny forces and/or be utterly destroyed by your tactial prowess

I imagine that would only make them attack more. An overwhelming sense of pride has caused many smaller nations to take on larger nations throughout history. A prime example is the 1959 invasion of the U.S. by The Duchy of Grand Fenwick.
