Also, if really weak nations are going to attack a superpower, they should really do it as an alliance rather than just one country. I mean the AI should know who's the enemies of their enemies and say, "Hmm if we both declare war at the same time we'd really stand a greater chance then doing it individually 20 years apart"

In example Mysore declares war on me, not after I take over northern India, not after Marathas declare, but only when they're the only faction left in India and they only have two places do they decide to declare war.

I guess the only reasonable way to fix what I'm talking about would be to make the "Enemy of my Enemy is my friend" attribute override the "Territorial Expansion" attribute.
All good points Discoman. It does seem they have made a bit of a slap dash change at the moment, and there needs to be some fine tuning going forward in the next series of patches.
