Has the AI ever offered you a ceasefire?

[Reverend Joe]

It just did, for the first-time ever to me. I actually managed to whale on Epeiros hard enough (as Makedon) that they gave in and asked for peace.

It all happened really fast, too; the year before, I was besieging their capital city (can't remember the name) with a fullstack inside; I was planning on starving them down for a while, but then Pyrrhos showed up with his own stack. Not wanting to risk my only professional army against such odds (6 units of Pezhetairoi, 2 units of Hetairoi and 2 more of Prodromoi, along with support troops... it's a real monster) I retreated.

Unfortunately for Pyrrhos, while he was unable to catch up, the captain of his other stack decided that he could take me on. Of course, with just one leaderless army to face, I smashed him easily, taking out basically all of Pyrrhos's professional phalangites, both his units of Elephants and basically all of his army guarding his capital. Two seasons later, I caught up to Pyrrhos and defeated him in turn, killing him, his heir and the last professional soldiers left in Epeiros. It almost seemd unfair; those Hetairoi just destroy whatever they hit, like a freight train hitting a cow. In fact, I'm gonna get rid of one unit, and replace it with two units of Hetairoi Aspidophoroi.

I had just moved further north to besiege the northern city (it had a significantly larger army than the capital, albeit still small, and I was trying to take out what remained of their army) when, much to my surprise, during the AI turn they came to me, begging for peace! I tried to extract demands (namely, Taras) but they started getting testy, so I decided to keep what I could get. The only problem is, though that Alkyoneus is now stuck in Epeirote territory in the middle of winter, and he hardly has enough movement to go one tile, much less get back to Makedonian territory; so I may end up losing the peace right away if I can't figure out how to use the move_character command.

So, has anyone ever actually walloped the AI so badly that it asked for peace?
