AI psychology: a thread attempting to analyze it´s behavior (contribs. welcome)

In my Turk campaigns I always ally with the Egyptians straight away. I go to war with Byzantium and before to long the yellow peasant brigades invading Syria. I will never understand why they don't attempt to go after the Almos?

I'm going to try to concede Syria via tax induced rebellion maybe that might promote a few more years of peace.

If you pull all your troops out and raise taxes you should manage to create rebellion.

- Low influence and risks of civil war induce warlords to sue for peace.

I don't think I've had a country sue for peace with me while I'm pushing them to civil war Unkown.

- My theory on the "War Pope": it is triggered by papal bankrupcy and/or utter vulnerability of lands. Once playing Byz the pope attacked and suffered a horrible defeat in my newly conçuered Naples. They sued for peace the following year.

This is true. I think if the Pope has strength he'll attack where an opportunity/need arises, but if he suffers a significant defeat he'll quickly sue for peace (and even form an alliance from what I've seen).
