I usually play TW:W on Hard, but with your amazing mod I am really struggling. The only race I've managed to get to turn 60 is the Vampires--and only because they aren't really bothered in the early game. With other races, the AI is constantly sacking vulnerable fringe towns and declaring war on me en masse at the slightest hint of weakness.
I'm not complaining, but I am curious how others approach this problem. Do you focus on defensive buildings? Raise multiple armies of cheap troops to protect borders and appear stronger? Keep few regions and buy time, hoping you will be missed and can rush in to fill a vacuum when others fight? Do you forge alliances or avoid them?
