Just wondered since the few times I played vanilla MTW, the AI hardly ever attacked. I'm more of a build and expand type of player, so I'm not used to tons of fighting.

I've actually been meaning to ask this as well. In particular, I've noticed the Almohads, while not being as expansionist as they were in the original Medieval, are not nearly the wusses they were in Viking Invasion either. They're now much more aggressive in trying to take back the provinces they've lost to me. In my last Spanish campaign, they tried to reconquer Cordoba and Murcia no less than 5 times each in a 15-year span. They even succeeded in pushing me back to Castille and Valencia a couple times, if only for a few turns.

The Almos are just one example, though. I've noticed that in general, the other factions are more aggresive in both acquiring new territory *and* retaking lost provinces.
