Is the AI designed in a way that it doesn't declare a war on other AIs that are in war with human players? I'm just wondering since as a Byzantium I was at war with Ottomans from 1476-1494 and during those year not a single AI declared on Ottos. Before that war some countries (Venice, Aragon, Castille, Mamluks and Poland-Lithuania) had declared on Ottomans every now and then and after the war ended Mamluks, Castille and Poland-Lithuania had all declared on Ottos within a month. So was I just _extremely_ unlucky or is this some kind of intended behavior?
AI not going to war with other AIs?

It's probably a smart move by the AI to let you wear out the Ottomans and increase war exhaustion before attacking. The AI does attack other AIs who are fighting humans.
Just some bad luck I suppose. I've had plenty of wars where the AI declared on them after I had already been fighting for a while. In my Norway game since 1.5 was released, and now moved on to beta 1.5.0.4 but this happened before then, Muscovy was at war with me and Novgorod then Poland and Lithuania declared war on them together then the Golden Horde declared war the moment their active army reached 0. In the end Muscovy was left with 1 territory.
Mid-to-late game, I often use the AI to help break down bigger countries. If the enemy is at a high WE and has almost no army, the AI starts dog-piling them.
Sounds like that happened for you, just... after it was too late to matter much.
