I uploaded 1.3b as a small update to hopefully reduce general AI aggression.
I will look into this more when i have time but try to see if 1.3b makes a difference, especially when starting a new game as AI strategies and such seem to take a while to update when loading a save.
I disabled other AI strategies in very limited scenarios...e.g. if an AI has valid claims, they will always take expand core territory to try and get the AI to take their claims back. But i did not do anything specific for countries like Brazil, only very specific scenarios. The desire for certain states is largely due to how much pop is in the state, which is how the AI values states in vanilla, but theres nothing that specifically makes Brazil target Germany.I noticed that the Belligerent states have the Expand Core Territory strategy, which seems to be much more common. But it also seems to be miscallibrated, because, for example, Brazil has that strategy which means it should expand at the expense of its neighbors, but instead Brazil too wants to conquer my states in Germany.
