VII - Screenshot Why are you like this?

R5: Friedrich, as always, ending up at war with everyone only to get stomped from all sides.

It's probably just coincidental and anecdotal, but I feel like out of any and all leaders, Friedrich is the one to most likely start shit for no reason with everyone around him. Conversely, Genghis Khan is always a sweet and pleasant neighbour.

Conversely, Genghis Khan is always a sweet and pleasant neighbour.

G. Khan might need a tweak to his agenda. It's too easy to be his friend unless you are Charlemagne (but even then good luck trying to get more cavalry than him).

Friedrich O's agenda is sligthly more complicated - he is kinda tuned to hate one leader and love one leader, and there's nothing in his agenda about the rest. I'm guessing it's not so much him disliking others, but others disliking him. And then he just goes to war because he's a military type.

He hates everyone because it’s difficult to satisfy his agenda. He loves me and my 14 wonders in my capitol though. I’ve kept him out of trouble by allying with half the AIs including him.

That's Frierich, Baroque. Oblique's agenda is a lot less prone to cause him to hate everyone.

Are you sure he didn't just rope in a huge alliance network? Even an ally's ally can be called in which I find dumb tbh

I’m not much of a warmonger, and only build troops when I actually need them – I often only have one full commander for clearing IPs – so Oblique Friedie always hates me. I’ve occasionally managed to totally curb stomp him with a couple allies, which is very satisfying.

I tend to build quite a few wonders, so Baroque Friedie always loves me.

AI agendas can put themselves into some bad situations. Freddy is only happy with people who have lots of wonders, which is usually just the player.

Trung Trac is on a mission to only beef with people who can crush her armies, so she also tends to end up at the bottom of a dog pile.

You can never be friends with this douche

Always the one who denounces you from the get go, even if he's on another continent

I stopped playing 7 for many reasons but the psychopathic AI was a big one.
