Just got done with a game where it didnt seem like the monsters attacked much. I released some dragons in a quest and the dragon said something about "sad, just another fallen kingdom" or something like that, so I fully expected the dragons to go around destroying cities etc, and I saw none of it.

I started a spell of making and the AI did not come running to stop me. Nor were they particularly aggressive towards me. What gives? I was playing at one above normal difficulty, on a small map, with 5 kingdoms. All fallen to my 1 kingdom. This is on 1.2. Am I missing something or just lucky? The ai declared war on me a few times, but I never really got attacked all that much.

Does the AI win with the spell of making ever? If not, I guess I should disable it, it does not seem all that fair if I can and they cant. 

I dont want to sound like im a super genius or something. I really like the game and want to know if I'm doing anything wrong.
