Now coreect me if I'm wrong, but do not all Roman factions declare war when one faction goes to war with a non-Roman faction controlled by human players. I seem to recall that it does not matter if you are Cartaginian, Britons, Egyptians,whoever,... if you attack a Roman faction, the other will declare war on you.

It only makes sense,...and makes no difference, the AI is hopelessly outclassed by human players.
