The Romans just offered me a ceasefire after they attacked me, and I counterattacked with my best full stack. I was KH, and I had captured Syracuse, Messanna and Rhegion. I was fighting a lengthy war with Carthage, but I had yet to win a final decisive battle to cement my claim to Sicily, when two Roman 1/4 stacks attacked my forts in the passes to the north and west of Rhegion. I counterattacked with my main Sicilian army and some reinforcements from Greece. I Drove the Romans back and besieged Taras. During the same series of turns I offered Carthage a cease-fire and military access (To Rome who they were also at war with) in return for Lepki in North Africa. I brought my African army that had been campaigning against Carthage back to Sicily to keep an eye on Carthage, and I allowed their Full stack of elites to precede against the Romans to the North. Simultaneously, the Carthaginians landed an amphibious force north of Capua. The Romans offered me a peace treaty in the face of these several invasions. I accepted, and my army retreated from Taras and i restored the old mountain pass fortresses. I then revoked military access for Carthage (their stack was by Capua now), and in return they ended our temporary alliance. Two turns later the Romans again attacked from the north. I hit toggle_fow and all of Carthage's forces had been destroyed, while Taras had revolted to the Epirotes. I had sent my Sicilian army to the East to deal with Pergamon, so only my African army Remains to fight the Romans. This army has now made the full tour, fighting in Pontos, Cyprus, and against the AS in the east before being brought west to deal with a Carthaginian invasion of Crete. From there they invade Kyrene, and waged a campaign against Carthage in North Africa. Now they are Italy facing the Romans.
As Baktria, the AS would occasionally offer cease fires as well, but I rarely have seen the Romans do it... This is on Hard Campaign difficulty...
