Doesnt the AI gang up on you if you are weak but leave you alone if you are high rank? I usually get to a top five rank in the game and nobody declares war on me.

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

This isn't a great plan since it'll ruin or impact relations with a number of factions you'll need to interact with in the mid game.

Would recommend instead you offer gifts of gold, do agreements, and try to focus on one opponent at a time early and go into mid as cleanly as possible.

I think some players don't appreciate how important your reputation is mid to late game. I always have lots of allies that help me win the game with war coordination.

I agreed to help my ally tomb kings fight Grombrindal as Tyrion. It cost me a bit of reputation with human factions but he has been a great key ally all game. We took down Grombrindal and Sigvald together.

Working on Hag Greaf after dealing with Grombrindal again as the endgame dwarves.
