AHA! the file is completely different to the 1.1 on and has alot of new things in it...
here is the new code down to the starting of the params and junk...
Code:
// The trusted ally global parameters specify the minimum faction standing thresholds for a target faction to be
// considered a trusted ally. We can use target faction standing parameters directly in invasion/defend decisions
// but the trusted ally data allows us to use additional entry parameters: trusted_ally_enemy and trusted_ally_protectorate
// that we cannot measure directly for a target faction. An AI faction may also try and aid its trusted allies (hence the
// reverse checks on standings to avoid helping allies it shouldn't)
<trusted_ally_fs_threshold float="0.5"/> // min threshold for how much we like the target faction to consider them a trusted ally
<trusted_ally_target_fs_threshold float="0.5"/> // min threshold for how much the target faction likes us to consider them a trusted ally
<trusted_ally_target_human_fs_threshold float="0.0"/> // min threshold for how much the target (human) faction likes us to consider them a trusted ally
<trusted_ally_gs_threshold float="-1.0"/> // min threshold for how trustworthy we are to consider the target faction a trusted ally
<trusted_ally_target_gs_threshold float="-0.1"/> // min threshold for how trustworthy is the target faction to consider them a trusted ally
<trusted_ally_enemy_auto_war bool="false"/> // flag to indicate if a faction automatically goes to war with a trusted allies enemy
<use_cheat_overrides bool="true"/> // determines if cheat overrides (force peace with ai, force attack with humans) are applied
<invade_priority_fs_modifier float="-400.0"/> // modifies the final invade priority for new faction targets by += (faction_standing * modifier) {makes factions more likely to start war with disliked targets}
<invade_priority_gs_modifier float="0.0f"/> // modifies the final invade priority for new faction targets by += (global_standing * modifier) {makes factions more likely to start war with untrustworthy targets}
<invade_priority_assistance_offset int="200"/> // modifies the final invade priority for new faction targets where military assistance has been asked by += (offset) {makes factions more likely to start war with military assistance targets}
<invade_priority_min int="50"/> // min clamp for final invade priorities calculated
<invade_priority_max int="1000"/> // max clamp for final invade priorities calculated
// Each faction has an 'ai_label' specified in the campaign descr_strat.txt. This ai_label must correspond to a 'faction_ai_label'
// entry specified in this database (e.g. 'default', 'catholic', 'papal_states'). The 'default' ai_label should always exist
// and is used if a specified ai_label cannot be found. Note that each ai_label is independent (i.e. 'catholic' ai_label does
// not inherit any data from 'default') hence care should be taken when adding new entries to ensure that any relevant global
// entries are added to all other ai_labels. Additionally, the ai_labels can be tested through event conditions and set through
// a script command, potentially allowing ai behaviour to be changed dynamically in game depending on current game state.
<faction_ai_label name="default"> :: The label for a following set of campaign ai faction parameters
// The ai_labels specify the structure of the long term goal director (LTGD) which drives the high level campaign AI.
// At the start of every factions turn (or when diplomacy changes), the LTGD is re-evaluated as follows:
// for every target faction (all other factions), evaluate the defend decisions
// for every target faction, evaluate the invasion decisions
// any invasion priorities are modified by the faction standing (relationship) towards the target
// depending on current game state, a new target with a high invasion priority may be selected to invade
// the LTGD can be debugged with the preferences '[log] level = ai.ltgd trace' and '[ai] ltgd_logging = true.
// The 'defend_decisions' entry specifies a list of decision entries related to ai defence strategies. To evaluate a defence
// strategy, a set of parameters is built and the list of decision entries is iterated until an entry satisfies the min and max
// conditions for the set of parameters. As soon as an entry is satisfied (min <= current <= max), the iteration ends. The decision
// is taken from the default 'faction_attitude' parameters with certain parameters overridden. The 'min_entry' specifies the minimum
// thresholds specified for evaluation and the 'max_entry' specifies the maximum. Note that care should be taken when entering new
// entries since as soon as the thresholds for an entry are successfully met, the iteration ends. An exception to this is the use of
// the 'continue' faction_attitude parameter, which allows the decision iteration to continue (This is useful for changing certain
// parameters of the faction_attitude but allowing the process to continue so other entries can apply additional modifications).

you can see at the bottom what the threshold floats are now compared to what they said they should be in the example, and they are much lower, and there are these invade priority things! crazy cool stuff that I don't understand although I may once I start reading the file.
