    Re: Announcement: Europa Barbarorum II 2.2r released!

    I'm now at turn 225 and see no sign of ceasefires or alliances between AI factions, as a matter of fact 2 additional wars broke out in this short 10 turn sequence.

    I think I might have noticed something similar. AI is quite eager to declare war but not so much to make peace. It can stay at war for decades with factions that they don't even border anymore.
