Recent game as Russia. I´m in an alliance with Sweden, amongst others, when they suddenly DoW me! Ok, so Karl XII has lost it. I took St. Petersburg and offered it right back in a peacedeal with some tech I though they could use but noooo. Ok I take Riga and did the same thing again, no!
Took Finland, no! Took Denmark, Norway and Iceland from the Danish and here´s my final offer to Sweden: Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, some +10techs, 100.000 in cash - NO!
Just to show how absurd peace negotiations ha become I offer them all above plus ALL my Russian lands except Moscow plus 5.000/ turn for 10 turns. What´s their reply? NO! They are sitting in Stockholm with no troops, no fleets, no cash since everything is razed and I´m offering them the largest empire in the game but NoOOooooooo! I´m ashamed to be a Swede.
I checked our relations and it was 216, 200 from war alone. Is it justy me or...?

Has anyone managed to secure a peacedeal since 1.3 and in that case how did you do it I really want to know.

I have had two peace settlements in 1.3.1. I had to give nothing to get them. One was with the Moguls and they settled when a bit more than half of India was taken from them...I don’t know why the settled, it may have just been a fluke.

The second settlement was with France. That was much more complex. I had tried everything and they would not settle.

At last what happened was I was moving a small siege force to besiege their last hold in Europe when they intercepted me. They lost all of their troops in the battle and were left with only the armed citizenry in the city. When I besieged them they at last settled and never broke the agreement.
