Psychopathic incapability to determine it's ability to actually prosecute a war it declares is something of a feature of all videogame AI, I've never seen a game that doesn't make increasingly outrageous demands of me even though I have the capacity to crush it like a bug.

It was kind of sad, really. They could've kept their empire if they just weren't such enormous dickheads...
Life lesson, perhaps?


The diplomacy thing is silly, because so many mods have fixed this problem. Or as well as they could within the hard limits. It is still pretty hilarious that even though they are 5 1/2 games into the series, they still haven't been able to fix bugs or bring back features that were in the 2nd game.
Shrooms: It's interesting that the taste of blood is kind of irony.

Even in R:TW, they had a knack of ganging up on the player so badly it just felt like they may as well dismiss the diplomacy aspect altogether. An AI that actually knows when to call it quits would be nice, rather than RAR! Ultimate challenge!
