Aggresive AI

[Arcyinkwizytor]

Started new game as Sweden and I am just observing what's going on. Aaaaand this is ridiculous.
In first 20 years:
- Baden with only mighty Ulm at their side DOWed some free city, who had Austria and numerous other allies. Obvious result.
- Hungary attacked Ottos and won - I have never seen this in 1400 hours I've played. But this was at least justified war, Hungary have Austria as allies.
- Just after this war - Ramazan by himself attacked Ottos. Still obvious result.
- After some huge France, Hungary vs. Austria, Castille war, Wallachia attacked Hungary and Salzburg attacked Austria. Both attackers were without allies and had comparable forces to defenders with little more manpower. But, you know, defenders had other allies. Obvious results.

Is it just me, or AI is now much more aggresive or even suicidal?
I play on new patch but without CS for now

It's not just you, in my games I've seen plenty of HRE countries get completely wrecked because they attacked someone with Austria on their side. Eg: Nassau + Brunswick + Aachen vs. Hesse (me) + Austria + Palatinate + Mainz

It appears the AI hardly calculates allies in it's decision to go to war. Seen it happen waaay too often in my 4 games from 1444 - 1460ish

Had the same experience.
Mighty OPM Mainz attacked the Free City of Frankfurt which dragged in Austria, France and Hungary.
Apart from the obvious bug that France and Austria should never be allied, this was just suicidal from the Mainz-AI.

Same here, playing as Hungary I got attacked by Venice even though I was allied with Poland and Austria. Got Venice's Balkan provinces in the end

Yeah, I've seen it as well.
I was playing as Nuremberg, allied to the BBB, Bohemia and Saxony. All of a sudden Bavaria with their mighty allies Ravensburg and Mainz attacked me... You can probably guess how well that went for them. Admittedly, the Emperor declined the call to arms, but it was still a suicide attempt from the ai

There was the same situation after previous patch if I remember correctly, but was hotfixed. I hope for quick patch because now game is hardly playable.

Same madness here. Seems to be little logic. HRE just turned into an absolute slaughter

Seen it in my game too, Aq Qoyunlu decided to take on everyone to the north and east at the same time, right on the second day just after all the alliances/rivals formed.

Also, by 1461:
Aragon has eaten most of Castile already
England attacked France and took two provinces
Provence attacked France, and won a province off them
Scotland ate Tyrone
Serbia ate Bosnia
Bohemia ate Silesia
Genoa declared on Venice and is obviously losing that
Timurids took half of Uzbek
Sweden is independent and took a couple of Norway's provinces
Muscovy is about to take a chunk (if not all) out of Kazan
Morocco ate Tlemcen

There might be more too that I've missed, TI and my knowledge of the HRE is limited.

I don't mind an aggressive AI, but so much land is changing hands so fast, at this rate it could just be a few big blobs left by the 18th Century.

Another playthrough and the same situation in the first 20 years.
Bavaria (having around 9k troops and allied to only some German minor) attacked Palatinate, completely ignoring fact that bored Austrian 33k army, standing next to them, is actually Palatinate ally.

What's going on Paradox?

In addition to starting crazy wars, in my game multiple nations had 3-4 wars simultaneously. Europe is on fire! Looks fun though.

If I recall correctly CK2 had this issue as well a while back as well.
