The primary example in the uploaded save file is Drycha. She has been at war with Stirland for a while and still has not managed to wipe them out. Additionally, she's at war with Ungrim and Kostaltyn with the latter having only her as her enemy and no one else, but they still are unable to finish her. It's mostly just sack and run gameplay.

I've definitely seen countless examples of passive AI ever since Immortal empire release. It's as if CA got too much backlash in version 1.0 for AI being too aggressive and just nerfed it to the ground.

Here's an example that I've seen many times with crisis factions. Been at war with them since turn 10 and I got sight of this since at least 20 turns.

This look like my game now, except i dont have end game crisis active and i play on VH/VH. Vlad is at war with 3 factions. At some point the AI just stop trying and it makes it unfun.

Its not just the AI not attacking and being too passive. Its also too easy because of various things including but not limited to high economy mid to late game, the way corruption is easily acquired and gotten rid of (needs to be toned down per battle and per character), growth is very high even dwarfs are at tier 5 by turn 60 or 70 if done right, public order takes care of itself enough for you to just move on and keep conquering instead of using resources to pacify and hold back rebellions, exp and money gained through battles.


 Just so many compounding things that makes for a much easier experience. Sliders and optional caps could be implemented to make a challenging gameplay experience.

I have noticed that the AI is very passive in normal difficultly. It is not

 the case in Warhammer 2 .

beware if you are using some AI mod

and exemple, organic AI remove the threat from the player to AI instead of tuning it. Probably because the author didn't take the time to read how is calculated threat

It's probably the case for some others ai mod

Thought I'd give another example from Very Hard. Valkia the Bloody is just standing there with stacks of 1 or 2 unit armies doing nothing.
