Sustained peace possible through economics?

[Ardri]

The land bridge between Sicily and Italy can easily be blocked by just placing a unit on the coast. The computer cannot attack you because they cannot reach the slot right next to your unit to attack it. If the computer couldn't actually attack you they may not break the peace I suppose.

move their army to british islands or ireland will help you a lot when maintaining peace.....

but for the sake of roleplaying, I got 3 full stack of phalavan army goes on vacation in Ireland on my Baktrian campaign..... That creates long, sustainable peace

I hadn't thought about that, but would be pretty hard in doing that for 3 factions when each has 4-8 full stacks prowling around.

I do not see the difficulty of maintaining peace; I had once secured a 12 year peace as a lkhmid in IBFD IJ 2, inspite of being surrounded by enemies (sassanids and romans). all you have to do is take advantage of their aggresiveness: gie them tribute, keep neutral, and ask them to attack each other. it worked for me. I broke the peace BTW.

Actually, they can attack you. What you are describing would work in M2TW, but "landbridges" that were worked into RTW work just like two tiles of adjacent land.

You can however move ships to block that landbridge between Sicily and Italy.

[Mediolanicus]

I my Romani campaign only Epeiros, Carthage, Sweboz and Makedon have been agressive.

The other faction are pacifists so far.

Bordering with and at peace with:

Aedui Empire (pretty much all of Gaul): for 80 years
Arverni, 1 province : for 50-40 years
Lusotann, half of Iberia : for 50-40 years
Getai, 4 provinces : for 40-30 years
KH, 1 province : for 10 years


I have no idea why or how or what...

Actually, you can't do that either. The tiles are diagonally touching, meaning there is actually no sea between them.
