So im playing as rome on turn 55 currently and im stuck in continuous wars. Around turn 15 i made peace with epirus after taking magna grecia. I was planning on focusing northwards but carthage declares war for seemingly no reason? Im assuming thats intended for punic wars though. I had 2 20 stacks they had somewhere in the range of 5 20 stack armies and 6 20 stack fleets that i knew of. I took sicily and killed 3 armies and 3 fleets before having to abandon sicily on turn 30 after never ending waves of armies against my 2.

However just after turn 30 i had one of the tribes in northern italy declare war, so built another army and killed 3 20 stacks and took genua. Then some people from northern greece area (Not a greek faction with pikes n stuff) declared war and has sent non ending 20 stacks across the adriatic. Then the other 2 towns in northern italy declared war so i took those two so i own all of italy excluding sicily. After that germans and some other people from roughly austria area have declared war.

A actual greek faction has also declared war and some people from the crimea area aswell just a turn or two after i met them. Both are sending fleets of 20 stacks.

All this and nobody will make peace. Everyone has their spies in my territory so im replacing my generals nearly every turn and im fending off multiple armies landing in italy, multiple armies attacking northern italy and any hope of diplomacy for peace is just not a option. Nobody no matter how long the war, how many armies ive killed or how many cities ive captured, liberated or looted changes their opinions of peace.

My question is if this is intended ai or is something wrong? Every other ai ive met declares war within a turn or two of meeting them.
