Yes, indeed, I think that is why trade partners allow their ports to be blockaded and never try to remove them.

There seems to be several AIs in the game. Each faction has a campaign AI and a battle AI. Then we have the overall game with an AI god who tries to sink the player and has the various other AIs behave stupidly. All those factions are starved for money and troops but the only thing that seems to matter is what the AI god directs.

It is just what I think but I feel it spoils the game. What is your strategy to defeat god?
