Are there any mods which increase AI aggressiveness towards the player?

I'm running quite a few mods like more interactive vassals, more game rules, social relations extended... They're definitely making for a much better experience than vanilla at least in terms of vassals. But having played through a sicily game with them on, still not finding the Ai ever declares war on me.

Theyre in pretty good shape - the HRE and Empire of Francia are strong, cohesive and have expanded considerably. Even the muslim powers i've been knocking chunks off have fielded some decent armies. But nope, noone ever comes after me. Indeed, I've conquered Africa Tahert and Bagrid (?) now and no sign of even a holy war.

I'm starting to wonder if the AI's programmed not to attack the player? - they seem happy enough going up against each other, just not very interested in attacking me. Anyone found any decent mods to make the AI more aggressive towards the player kingdom, or at least to form defensive pacts against you? I think that was a thing in CK2 certainly.

Yes.

There is aggressive setting in the game rules with this mod.

Hey there.

I've got that one on, though I thought the Ai aggressiveness option was from More Game Rules rather than More Interactive vassals. Currently / last game had difficulty at high, Ai aggressiveness at high. Still never came after me. You having better luck at Very High?

My puzzlement is I'm seeing loads of wars going on - Empire of Francia and HRE have been expanding aggressively and clashing with each other, lots of action in Spain and various Muslim border wars to the east and south - but not once have any of them declared on me. Despite me expanding aggressively and having the "afraid of expansion" malus from SRE.

I don't think it can be a straightforward strength calculation, not least because I've been allied to various powers and sucked into a few of those wars. Fought with the french against the HRE, with Castille again the guys to the left, with them against the guys to the south...

But, yeah, they never come after me. I wondered if it was a matter of claims, but I'm been pretty loose marrying off daughters and the Byzantine empire - which, if I'm reading the map right, must have a de jure casus belli on southern italy - seems utterly inert. It's just odd. It's like they'll attack anyone except me.
