You know, one of the things that really bugged me in MTW1 was crazy AI decision making, eg when a one province power would attack your faction- even though you own half the map- ie instant suicide.

Yet I dont really see any improvement in MTW2...

Im still getting weak powers attack me, ask for peace a few turns later (after not doing much in the way of attacking BTW) and the attack again a few turns after that- rinse, repeat etc etc

Furthermore- diplomats asking for money or they will attack demand...I actually did a test and accepted- after which they attacked anyway- yet no penalty seemed to be enacted...

In fact- the whole diplomacy angle seems messed up- my trust rating constantly seems to be at an very low level despite the fact that I never break any alliances, my relations with AI factions I dont have any contact with seems to arbitrarily drop for no reason. And the thing that really annoys me- alliances (especially between AI factions) seem to be readily agreed to and are broken a few turns later....yet Im the one with the poor trust reputation!?!?!...I do not get it.

Is it just me or are others getting this?
