Interesting stuff, Kuro. Thanks for digging into it and posting. 
A question/thought: Does the aggressive AI setting being checked have any effect on dog pile war decisions? I believe Sulla described it as causing the AIs to not check power differences the way they normally would -- this helps explains some of the declarations by weak AIs against much stronger AIs. If this also changed the dog pile war decision process with its shared/joint power calculations, then mass dog piles become even more likely to occur.
