Anyone out there playing the Extended Alex EB mod?

Or maybe this question could go for regular EB too.

Does the AI expand VERY slowly or by a certain year start to attack? Or should they be using every army right at the start of the game, attacking and plundering?

I've been playing Extended Alex for a couple days now and I notice huge AI stacks that don't move much and don't attack either. I was wondering if they start to attack more on a certain year (historically) or if they only attack once you attack them? Basically, what should the AI be up to at the start of the game?

I'm seeing the year descripts so I'm pretty sure the script is working. But perhaps the "whole" script isn't working properly?

Thanks,
Apple.
