AI assist in wars

would be nice to get help from allied AI players during war time either by resource donation minor troop deployments or defensive posturing on the territories I capture. Example, Briton and Spain are allied- go to war with France...Spain is an AI player and either attacks France directly, contributes resource to Britain or helps back up captured French territory.

This would also create a more interesting dynamic in defense against these guys running multiple accounts or running the whole map.

AI is not meant to be competitive. It can't even defend itself properly so being able to do something good for other country is unthinkable to me. Anyway, being allied to AI in this game is not really possibly. Also, it would be very hard to implement it and no real benefit to the game would be done by it because, after all, this is a multiplayer game so AI is not important.

Elite AIs do such things, but you need to pay gold to play them.

Good suggestion.

Nice idea, except for the fact that the AI would capture some of France's provinces, which woud lead to the understandable rage of many players.

I doubt they help you in invasions.
The past is a foreign country.

No, but they are more active and can do diplomacy.
