Hi,

when playing the last time ES I found one thing peculiar: I was constantly invaded by two AIs (playing with 7 AIs, SP) so I built up my fleet (not that this was sufficient but anyway). The response was a change of almost all AIs towards hostile because I strengthened my fleet. Well what on earth should I do else -- watch how my empire is reduced? Is there any way an AI can take into account that war of course means an increase of troops?

UE, Cravers & Hissho hate you for having a weak fleet.

Sophons, Amoeba, Horatio, Sowers & Pilgrims hate you for having a strong fleet.

You're gonna have to learn how to juggle.

But that's nonsense when I am at war with another nation! It is as if France would have been pissed by the British mobilization of troops in the Falkland War.

Well, the factions that lean towards pacifism also appreciate long-term peaceful relations more than the aggressive ones, so it evens out. Hatred based on fleet strength goes up (down) to -50, whilst peaceful status, open-borders + coop agreement amounts up to +160.

I play the game with modified values which, compared to vanilla, make every faction even more hostile towards the player and I don't have your problem. As I'd said, you're gonna have to dabble in juggling.
