The fact of the matter is it has almost been a year later and the 'Enemey Empire AI' is still treated as friendly by the monster & ruffian AI. Only 1 faction (and any player made factions with it) with the 'invincible' caravans trait should be having their caravans not attacked by anything. Only EE AI troops with stealthy should be able to move as freely as they do, and even then not as much as they do. There is no way all their troops have stealthy on. It was about 50 turns in-game and I ran into a EE AI player and he was at 521 compared to the next at 60 or so and me at 17 or something. (I have the densest/strongest M&R AI on, many events and stuff on) The only way he could have gotten there, I imagine, is if he found Curgen's Imperium city and founded a city there - I have never been in one so I don't know what it looks like inside, just that you can build a city in there - that completely proves the point of AI 'cheating.

Before this I took over a city in another game that was right next to a slag or drake. After that I just made a city in a relatively safe place and left two extra troops in there (this is early game so they ain't strong, but still) and the M&R AI decides to attack it within 15 turns.

The diplomacy and how they treat you as compared to others in most games has mainly sucked with AI, but if people were complaining about it over a year ago couldn't they have fixed it by now?

I wouldn't have to play catch up in so many games if the developers fixed this so that the ai was treated like I was. Instead they can go around the map snatching up all quests and treasures without a care in the world.
