AI IP

Im trying to understand the AI and their decisions regarding who to attack. The danes don't border me and in the ai_db I have reduced invade priority for non_neighbors with decent relations. The entry shows an IP of -401 but they still attacked. How is this possible?

Invade 'buildup' is an invasion type, 'none' is what you want if they're not supposed to be invading. Force invade isn't completely clear to me, but set it to false if you don't want them to invade the target.
