Can anyone explain what logic the AI follows when it is selecting it's rivals?
At the moment I'm trying to get the "African Power" achievement with Kongo. Unfortunately the AI is trying to screw me over in every possible way. I'm rivaled by Spain, Osman Empire and Ming and Great Britain.
I'm number 3 on the great power list. So that might motivate them. However number 2 Spain is neither rivaling the OE (GP number 1) nor GB (GP number 4) which holds Gibraltar. Spain also wants numerous other provinces from the Brits. Spain has one province in Africa which isn't even close to my provinces. GB doesn't have any holdings in Africa
I never had anything to do with the OE. They have 90% more development and an army that is 100% larger then mine. And I am their lone rival.
I have no idea why Ming is rivaling me as I'm having only some colonies in south east Asia.
None of Spain's rivals want to ally me. Which I somewhat can tolerate as I stupidly decided to stick to fetish religion and grab the hoarder achievement on this run as well. The run seems to be a hopeless case now as my only useful ally Marocco conquered huge parts of the the Sahel zone.
Can I somehow work around this hopeless situation or is it time to start another run? I'm still playing on 1.30.6 as I did not like the changes Leviathan introduced.
Thanks for any useful explanation on the rival system and I hope I was able to explain the situation as English isn't my native language
