2. Remove all your spies AND assassins from their lands. They will not accept otherwise.

3. Have troops on their borders, not in their lands. See 2.

4. Have recently won a battle against them. Do not save and reload, it is lost if you do.

5. Your military graph MUST be higher than theirs or they will not except (unless 4. is strong enough).

6. In addition to offering a ceasefire, make it more attractive by adding trade rights, 100 gold and map information.

7. If that doesn't work, add "Accept or we will attack" instead of goodies.

8. I have never had a single war fought to destruction unless i wanted to.

Yeah, that probably works, but still it is pretty dum to say that they are not afraid of your empty threads, when you have captured all their cities and last is under siege(is it said that way??). They SHOULDnt have a choice, but to become protocrate or ceasefire.

That AI's aggressive playing style is also stupid, they dont respect peace treaties or allies very much. You might have helped your allie at many places to eg. get settlement, but still you have to had lot of mens in border of your allies, that is stupid.Very stupid.

Could this be repaired in some future patch or is it too "big" or sumthing?
'Cause that would be nice.
