Most muti province non player countries will attack to get
provinces back. Kozaki is very aggressive to get it's provinces
back. Usually you will only see a non player kingdom attack
only once in a 5 war seasons pace. You usually have 3 turns
before they reinvade you. I also had great luck set my provincial
defense orders at set piece. When a non player country invaded
I usually could peace them out before they went to battle. I was
luck that I always had a couple of superior Diplomats.

No it only has alliances with the non player kingdoms. I find
these easy to break playing Uttara Kuru, Kosala and Kusan.

Also spy your own court to get those stats on your adj & cha. If
they are bad send them out adventuring. If they get killed you
could get better replacements. I have gotten characters with long life
and reincarnate spells the next turn. Remember your cha & adj will
be replaced right away if they are killed.
