For a quick preface, I love Stainless Steel. I've been playing it since 4.0, and usually it makes my M2TW experience much more enjoyable.
However, I'm having a bit of a problem with 6.1.
No matter what faction I play and for how long I do, none of the AI factions will declare war on each other or me, for that matter. Neither will any of the AI factions declare alliances or trading rights. Of course, I can attack any of my chosen enemies, and they will fight back. I can also request alliances and trade rights - heck, I even made Venice my vassal during my Genoa campaign. Aside from conquering rebel cities, however, none of the AI factions seem to want to fight each other or me.
Is there any way I can fix this? I'd rather not play through a campaign where the only wars in the world are those of my choosing.
Any help would be appreciated.
