Peace I Just Want Peace!!!!

Is that so much to ask? I like to play the normans, usually i conquer the byzantines. After that i like to just rest and rebuild with a new capitol at Constinople. But regardless of what i do the same thing always happens. The Venetians attack me, the germans attack me, the genoese attack me, and even the hungarians attack. All within 2 turns of each other. The first time this happened, i thought ok ill take em out one by one. get them down and they will accept a ceasefire or maybe become a vassal. but no venice does not even accept a ceasefire when there down to there last city.

Does this happen to anybody else. I like to plan my conquests slowly and deliberatly but i never get this chance.

ANybody got any suggestions cause im getting peeved.

From 10 years the game name is Total War

Try some of the old versions of Shaba Mod or UltimateAI mods, look for complains about the mod being too peaceful :) and download that version.

It happens in RTW too. I too find this ridiculous. I was England and allied with spain and portugal a whole lot of other factions against germany. I had good relations with all. However after that one Spanish ship blockaded my port and then my own coalition turned against me! They even made peace with the Germans just to gang up on me!

That said, the AI does many other indescribable, incredulous, undiplomatic moves. On top of that they defy sense when they refuse for a simple ceasefire even when whittled down to the last city, as if some divine intervention will help them.

While the name of the game is Total War, it shouldn't be the whole map Total War-ring on you.

It's called Total War!

While I mostly agree with the spirit of the points, Total War does not imply that a nation is always fighting; it implies that the nation is fighting without holding anything back. It is totally committed to the war.

Wiki.

A "Total War" game in which war was an infrequent occurence would not be "wrong".
