some praise for 1.3

It's a little different when you do not play Britain. As a continental power, the AI countries will declare war for the simple reason that you share a border. If you make peace with one, another will attack. The AI is programmed to make sure you always have 1 (usually 2) wars.

It's like they are capable of making a good game, but they intentionally put in mechanics that will obviously result in stupid automatic results.
