Diplomacy out of whack? Peace Treaty vs Surrendering
I had destroyed all of Paridens weak spam and they were down to one city but somehow their sovereign was way overpowered (ai cheat i guess) and nothing I had could stop her so I offered a peace treaty. They would not accept but then I saw that they would become my vassal. Poof she is mine now even though they would not accept peace and I did not have anything strong enough to stop her! If they wont sign a peace treaty why would they surrender?
