I've noticed that in both 1.3 and 1.4, the AI seems to be war happy.  I am repeatedly finding myself in wars with other sovs whom I have virtually no contact with.  It is getting so crazy that in my current game I have had moments where the entire world was at war with me simultaneously!  Literally every AI sov wardec-ed me even though I only actually shared borders with one AI.  I wasn't even powerful: my empire was in 4th place in the rankings.  It is particularly bizarre that even the dead last sov, who was under attack from another enemy and fighting for his life (even asking me for help!), also declared war on me for no reason (no shared borders or anything!  And I had just given him aid against our shared foe!).  Something isn't right here.

The other side of the coin is that occasionally one or two of these other sovs would come to their senses and make peace (we hadn't even exchanged any blows - war and peace for no apparent reason).  But sure enough, a dozen or turns later, another wardec for no apparent reason. 

This can't be right.  I know in the far future there is only war, but not in the Elemental past!    These senseless wars are cutting into the rest of the game and dragging the experience down for me.
