Making the AI snowball into large empires will make the game worse

One of the thing's I've found interesting about the game recently is how many different factions stay alive now compared to the boring ass chaos/order tides that used to exist in WH2.

This new beta feature seems to incentivize it, and it's going to make the game incredibly boring and uninteresting to play.

1) Diplomacy only matters when there are enough factions to negotiate with. Big blobs make diplomacy irrelevant as the answer is always going to be war, or peace while you're declaring war on someone else.

2) The more interesting way to fix the AI being weak would be promoting more alliance building, maybe even adding in more mechanics/benefits from forming military alliances. Instead this new update is simply bringing things back to how they used to be, which was not very interesting at all.
