Strong factions attack others. Weak factions get attacked by others. That's the mentality behind diplomacy in EB.

Very unlike modern diplomacy, where the attacker is vilified - in EB, the attacker is lauded and praised for being strong and brave enough to attack someone, and the victim is despised for their weakness. No-one wants to be allied with a weakling.

So if you want to keep your allies, then make sure you are the faction doing the attacking. That will impress your allies and keep them loyal to you.
The EB AI think this way??? O my lorde!!!
So, I think it explain my problem... I'm fighting against the ArcheSelukeia during 40 years!!! When i took the Macedonians and KingElenon cities in Turkey's coast they attacked me hard and the Full War was started between us! Up to this time, we are in a Full War, Romans Vs Seleukeia! After many years of greats battles and big loses to both sides, I took all "pontus" (Turkey) and my forces had burned (only burned not conquered) the follow cities: Selekeia, Babilon, Arbela and Atioquia, the ArcheSeleukeia's empire was hit hard and lose many tropas and citizens! I thought they will be pleased to recieve a peace proposal that I'm agree in give them back the cities in east of Syria and some money, but they don't want the peace!!!??? why???
