No, Im fully aware that the AI is the same for every faction. So it must be something else in the gamecode that makes Sturgia more bloodthirsty, or stupid depending on how you see it. The AI might be the same but other things must come into play, like geography and economics. In my current playtrough, Sturgia is at war with everyone except the Aserai. All other factions are doing ok or better. Only faction that is gone is the Southern Empire. The rest are just at war with Sturgia and at most one more, during very short durations. The Sturgia war has so far been more or less permanent.
