Do crisis just beeline to player?

[BlueLightning]

i have a feeling the crisis ignores everyone and just beelines straight to the player

No

Their target list is weighted towards the player but they do attack other factions too.

[BlueLightning]

you say no , but 3 armies of dwarves are passing by 3 of my allies settlements to attack me

I had the dwarf crisis while playing as the high elves and they basically obliterated everything south of the fey enchantress before they started attacking me.

Something I noticed is that not all of the AI factions end up at war with them. Cathay specifically ended up in a military alliance with them.

What happens 1 time in 1 game to 1 person is not indicative of a trend. I've seen a dozen crisis now and while they certainly attacked me, they took out the AI in between us along the way. Every time.

3 armies out of 20 are passing the AI to come straight for you.

okay 3 armies of 20 per faction makes sense

Also when I say 20 that might be an exaggeration, as i don't know what crisis settings you have selected. But yeah the general idea stands. They will attack almost everyone. There do seem to be instances like mentioned above of certain AI factions being allied to the crisis. Arkhan was allied to vamp crisis in one of my games for example.

The AI bypasses everyone and everything to attack the player - if that's your thing then fine, make that the way "Legendary" difficulty plays. Sadly at the moment it's just impossible even on easy when I find 15 (yes, 15) full stack armies attacking from every faction on all sides.
Will have to leave this until MODS have done the job properly and the AI is balanced.

Anecdotal here-say isn't evidence of a problem with the AI. Judging by how the AI is programmed with crises, it's far more like likely that AI simply prioritises you as a threat if there are two or more evenly matched factions that they can target.

Remind yourself that if you cannot win against crisis events, you can simply turn them off.

im the high elves, at war with the dark evles and the the crisis that is situated next to the dark elves only has war with me and my allies.
So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun when my enemies do not have to worry about the crisis

Sort of. Just had a Malus campaign where Grom was completely ignoring Ulthuan and going straight for Naggaroth
