But, but... the only way to start with some smaller factions is exactly that! In my Portugee campaign I had to go straight for Spain or risk being stifled by them or the Almohads.

I suppose the AI can't hald the delicate juggling act though. We human player try to pick ONE enemy at a time in that situation, and the AI tends to pick 3 of 3. Two alliances and an invasion is the way to go (if you can pull it off).
