AIs attack when I switch from Nationalism?

[davidbrake]

Twice now I have been moving along reasonably well for some time when I thought "why don't I switch from Nationalism to some thing more profitable"? Within a turn or two my aggressive neighbor attacked me. Before I could switch back to Nat and recruit some defenses my outlying cities were overrun! Has anyone else noticed this as a Civ IV AI behaviour? Is it a coincidence?

I wonder if perhaps the AI treats you as if you have an additional inf in your cities automatically when you have Nat (because you could quickly recruit one).

Is there any way to display what you know of the other players' civics? Or do you have to keep track from the announcements log?

when you open up negotiations the upper right hand box has their civic icons listed.

Perhaps it would be wise to draft BEFORE you swap out of nationalism.

Good thought and I will next time. Thanks for the tip re the icons.

I think one of the screens shows the civics too, for all civs you contacted. Victory or Settings or one of them. Dunno why it's not in Diplomacy advisor screen lol
