I'm fed up of being bummed by 20 nations 5 turns in on anything other than easy difficulty, i have no experience of modding empire, but if its like Med, which i do have experience of, then there should be a fairly easy way to sort the ai so its less agressive.

What i want specifically is for me to have some more breathing room, so more alliances less wars etc.

i know to many of you this seems like 'cheating' in someway, and i know how common wars were in this period, but i want a more relaxed game now and again with more meaningful diplomatic and military engagements, rather than forcing you to just spam units until you win.

Is this possible? if someone could point me to how to edit the campaign ai parameters i could happily do this myself.

Thanks all!

Dan
