Is it just me or the AI are very aggressive in the new 1.2.5a update. Playing as rome on very hard and when i'm focusing on carthage (arround turn 70, 12tpy), most of iberia already get conquered by edetani, arverni disapear because in a war with the entire gaul and edetani, getae already expanding to pannonia and iliria, ardirae gone, athens own all of mainland greece except appolonia (because i own it), macedon dissapear within 50 turns, galatia owns most of asia minor (even lydia already died), selucid lost most of its territory by that time, pontus gone. Is this a normal thing? i replayed the campaign and get a similar aggresive ai result with iberia split between carthage; masaesyli and arverni (i've never saw masaesyli left africa before); thyni owning thrace, dacia, panonia; asia minor split between rhodes, ptolemy, and galatia (pergamon, lydia, and pontus gone). Previously on 1.2.4, whenever playing with rome those small factions would not dominate the entire region, only the major faction like ptolemies, carthage, and arverni; their expansion are much more slower as well in very hard difficulty. Is my game bugged or this is intended? I'm not using any submod except graphical, music and kam's slower battle.
