For better or worse, at turn 1, I've noticed all the AIs in the game focus their entire game plan on you, the player. Whether it's dumping all their diplomacy into player-centric policies or your closest independent people, building a massive army and not focusing a single unit of production on their own development just to declare an early war, or speed running settlers to cozy right up next to you.

It's flattering to know they think so much of me, but there's a lot going on in the game and it's kinda weird how much attention the player gets. I get bombarded with diplomacy as soon as each leader has enough points to offer me something, even when I know they've met other leaders. I see two, three, four hoplites marching towards me by turn 30 making me wonder if Machiavelli has done literally anything else with his production queue.

I'm always the center of every AI's universe. I don't know if that's good or a bad thing.
