I just wish the AI would not call me bloodthirsty after taking out civilizations that they told me to make war with in the first place. It would also be nice if they didn't denounce me every chance they get because im bloodthirsty and i have too much land... i mean realistically wouldn't the point were i am allies with all the city-states, have a lot of land, and have a rockin military be the point when they would start kissing my butt so i wouldn't kill them rather than just sitting there denouncing me?

Yea, it just the way the game is coded. There's a hidden relations stat that basically determines whether other civs will like you or not. There's a mod you can download from the steam workshop that reveals this. But it basically runs like this. If you take a resource/land close to another civ, that's "-5" points to your relationship with that civ. If you and an allied civ declare war on a 3rd, unfriendly, civ, that's like "-50" points (i forgot what the actual number is) to your relationship with every other civ because you are "war-mongering". I think it even affects your allied civ(s) as well. Also, each civ responds differently to think like war-mongering.

One thing I've noticed is that if/when I become the civ that has the biggest...

One thing I've noticed is that if/when I become the civ that has the biggest military, the other civs will generally leave me alone for a while, but will eventually all start denouncing me and eventually I'll lose most of my allies.
