Diplomacy is entirely broken

YOu must be playing a different game then, because in none of my games, save RTI and where I was involved in getting the Natives to go to war with other factions by being an ally on either end, they never declared war on the other Euro nations holding colonies there (or the colonies themselves).

The only time there was some sort of war was Spain deciding to attack the Pueblo and then the Cherokee, but the Indians themselves never declared war. They do against the human player though.

Add to that, CA announced in the most recent patch that emerging factions are only at war with the human, not with AI, which suggests that really, its a human vs AI game rather than a free for all.

Sorry, I misread your post Factionheir. I thought you meant if they attack the euro factions, not if they declare war I just know they do fight each other. How do you tell who initiates the DoW?

I agree that the game should give the AI certain advantages, the way things are now, the AI needs as much help as it can get, that doesn't mean the AI factions get together to formulate a master plan against the player though.

Tells you in the war report at the start of turn.
