The AI is, unfortunately, unwilling to give you peace until they feel good and ready to do so. I don't bother asking for it, it comes naturally after a little while.

One of the worst things you could possibly do if you want peace, however, is taking the capital. This essentially brings back the black knight AI in that faction.


As to the title, how is this worse than 1.3? I didn't hear you mention ALL of the German minors attacking you, and back in 1.3 you could be at war with everyone and not have a single army marching to take your lands-only single 1-unit armies running around raiding farms
