Is there a way to get these guys to make peace?!

[Closet Deadpooler]

I've been at war with the Nords for 2 months now, I've killed about 2000 of their men and beat their king at least 3 times and taken most of their cities, no peace and then the Vaegir declare war so I beat their armies and no peace, then the Khanate declare war and I beat 1500 of their men and their leader and no peace, and now the Sultanate declare war. The only people who haven't declared war are the Rhodocks and they actually have a pretense for it!

I've had enough with the wars. My hands are killing me and I'm tired of going city to city to fight these guys. All I want to do is manage my empire and have some fun with the kingdom part, but I can't trust my lords to run the wars by themselves so I'm stuck dealing with these idiots who won't take a defeat and let me get on with my life! Whats the trick here?

Kill them all. Enemies can't bother you if there are none.

[Closet Deadpooler]

Yeah, but I kind of wanted to have an ally or two left. lol

Have you tried to send a message to the other kings?

Guildmasters can give you a quest that forces factions to make peace, altough I do not know if that works for your own kingdom.

The endgame is basically constant warfare. The AI will decide that your kingdom is big and scary or they want to recover lost territory or whatever and will declare war on you at any opportunity. They do typically sign peace after a few months of campaigning, but will go back to war again at the first opportunity after the treaty expires.

At that point I just decline the peace offering until I completely wipe them out

I "think" you may still be able to get a quest from a Guild Leader in one of your towns, or theirs... , to end the war. You can definitely get this quest when you're just a Lord.

You may also be able to talk to one of your Lords, or theirs (or their King, directly) to end the war.

And, of course, you can continue to use your Minister to attempt to send diplomats/envoys to your enemy.

Note: There's a minimum "at war" period when a faction first enters a war. Before that period is up, there can be no peace between involved factions. There's also a minimum "peace" where war can not be declared by the AI once peace has been established.

(Thirty days? Ten Days? I forget. It's worth noting that because of the way the in-game timer works, some mods can inadvertently change this when setting up timers for other events, resulting in periods that seem to be "always at war" or "wars are too short." I thinks its a hex code in the simpletriggers file for the mod, but I don't have the code at hand, just in case that's causing your issue.)

Additional Note: To be honest, after you get a period of peace and have fixed whatever was going on in your kingdom that required you to sue for peace in order to get the time to take care of it... Well, things are pretty darn boring without a bunch of war going on. :) And, if you want a war before the timer's up, you're going to have to go out and pick a fight. :D

I've tried talking with kings directly. I've been at war with Ragnar for a couple months and he still refuses to go for peace "It won't be in my interests." even though I've take a bunch of cities and forts from him and beat his armies since the war started. It's so much of a slog fest of going from place to place and killing armies all the time, I haven't even wanted to play in the last few weeks.

Yeah that's pretty much all you have to do to conquer the whole calradia. Constant
Boring
Fights
And
Sieges

That's why I still never conquered calradia even after my 400+ hours

You, and most other people. Winning takes patience, planning and practice (for me, anyway).

OP, you've heard about the diplomatic options, but when that's not enough, putting their King into your prison usually cinches it. Smashing their biggest armies helps.

Otherwise, you wait it out. "Peacetime" never lasts for long in Calradia.

I know, and I've tried that. I've beaten their king on three separate occasions in the latest war and they don't even have armies out anymore(but castles with a good number of troops where I'm forced into setting up the die of boredom siege towers instead of siege ladders).

Two of the four factions are sending armies that are still relatively strong into my lands, the rhoddocks who are some of my least favorite guys to fight entered the war a few weeks ago.

"Billy come down for dinner!"
"I Can't mom the Nords keep attacking my lands"
What's your right to rule? 30+ and apperantly they "won't" bother you as much, however I don't believe this tbh, If you have land near their land they'll probably dislike you.... if the factions think your weak they'll attack you, bassicly anything you do they'll attack you...

[Closet Deadpooler]

I'm fine on right to rule, and my might is good enough to flip honorable vassals pretty easily. The only thing that would do it is some of the cities I've captured(I only own lands taken from the Nords, frosty Nords and spear wielding/Spartan style guys). Brain fart with remembering the faction names right now. lol
