Make the villages greedy by giving them too much stuff, then they'll start wraing left and right you'll regret ever asking this question. I'll repost the answer I gave to someone else a week ago.

Greed start growing when a village has access to more than 20 of a resource then they currently use, so the simple answer is just give them lots more stuff. Failing projects, especially the later projects, also increases greed, so throwing a mudbomb at their fancy new project will also piss them off enough for them to start some wars.

However like you've experienced, there are several ways that limit or outright stop greed growth.

The first is Awe, each point of awe delays the greed growth border by that amount, so if you intentionally try to get them to start wars then try to avoid Awe-giving resources like Topaz.

The second greed killer is Danger, if the Danger is high enough a village is too busy trying to survive and they have no time to look at their juicy defenceless neighbours. Try to avoid placing too many dangerous animals in your intended greedy village or their greed might not start to grow at all.

Gradual growth also decreases greed and greed growth. The best way to get them greedy is to either focus on 1 resources and only increase that, so the gradual growth of the others doesn't slow the greed down, or get multiple resources far over the greed-zone so the multiple greed growers compensate for the 3rds gradual growth.

I hope this helps you to get them greedy, not too greedy though or they might start killing you.
