Peace I Just Want Peace!!!!

[KHPike]

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".
