The AI in Dom3 also has multiple settings;
defensive, standard, aggressive, and random.
Thats besides the ratings from easy to impossible.

So if you start the game with all randomly assigned AIs then when they DO find you the chance of war should be different with some of them.

Here's a question- is a couple minutes processing between turns normal on the largest map with maximum AI players?

Well, at later stages of the game on huge maps it's quite normal.

Okay, I'm at year 6 or 7 on the hugest map. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end.

Would increasing the size of my page file accelerate the process? Thanks for your reply!

You could use some extra memory.

I've got 2 GB, it's not like I'm trying to run this on a Commodore 64 or something!

I can increase my page file another 1000MB, I'll do so tonight and report the results.

Even with 1.5 gigs of RAM on mine, the processing time on such turns is pretty long. I think it's just to be expected, given the complexity of crunching all those numbers in sequence.
