AI + Diplomacy = WARRRR

So, now it's enough.
I've played RTR-PE, Bactrian. After I got Trade Rights with everyone around me and conquered two Rebel Towns in the east, my neighbour to the west, Parthia, attacked one of my provinces. He lost and I asked for ceasefire with success. The next turn he brought another army and attacked - he lost. After the third time I crushed his empire and took over the provinces. The next turn the Seleucid started to attack me. WTF - Why is the AI so stupid? I've played on Medium/Medium. Why can't we just live in peace? I mean, I would never attack a much stronger neighbour, but the AI does -.-
Why???
*cry*

welcome to RTW's world

I have a theory here. I think the AI fails to stop preordered units from acting if peace is declared. I've had this issue in Vannila several times with my ports being blockaded-war-peace-blockade-war-peace.

I think the fleets were already ordered to attack before the peace.

So I 'suspect' if you wreck their armies pointed in your direction and/or fleets PRIOR to the cease fire, it 'might' last longer. Not sure.

I have been playing it for a while. I feel RTR has the units and everything, but the fun factor and playability has to go to RTW. If there is a mod out there with RTW everything, but with RTR units that would be the best.

Maybe it is because I suck, but I tried it on easy easy to get the feel for the game, and I can't even get started without being attacked!

Life's pretty violent in RTR. But getting attacked isn't necessarily a big deal. Which faction are you using?

If you want to avoid getting attacked for a long time, try the Britons in the ExRM. You can hide pretty effectively (if not profitably) for ages.
