Roman AI..too agressive

[DisruptorX]

The AI is bad, even by TW standards. I have never had the enemy accept a cease fire, ever. I can destroy their armies, sack their cities, and nope, they will not agree to cease fire.

...

In most cases, I do not want to conquer them, as they are off in some far-flung province that is far too distance from the rest of my empire, so if they surrendered, they would be safe. But no, they keep sending armies at me..

Diplomacy is completely useless, I do not use it. There is no point, even if you do manage to get them to agree to something, they will literally attack you the next turn. Oh, and to add insult to injury, diplomats take upkeep. Oh well, at least you can use them to mass bribe entire legions, just like they did in real life.
