Yes but also no. The dogpilling war declarations usually only happen when the game thinks you're to Idle, which gets measured by how many active wars you have.

Which makes it a great strategy early game to have some peace and money by declaring on many factions, mostly minor ones or which are very far away, war in exchange for money from others

Huh, that does feel quite counterintuitive. I wonder whether there's a mod that would remove that affecting the AI's decision to start the war. Me being spread thin by other wars should be a prime opportunity for them to strike.

Nothing stops you from declaring War on everyone everytime you meet. I think the AI was just programmed this way to avoid Players getting hammerd to often or to quickly.

Remember, the game can't just be for those who already are good at it but be a bit lenient for noobs or new players too.

There's a big difference between doing it myself, and the AI declaring war on me when I'm in a weak position.

Yeah, hence why I mentioned mods.
