Dumb faction leader in war with everyone - what do?

[talior3]

Our empire used to be really big and relatively in control.
I have 589 influence but I can't propose peace at all about anyone. We always get attacked and our forces get weaker by the moment.

I want to leave the empire and did so with taking a prospering city before with my influence leading to leaders telling me I have no word and the northern empire hated me.

What do?

Maybe its not up to your leader to decide when to have peace. It could be the other factions want your land, and they see they are stronger so won't accept peace that easily.

At least the Asarai are chill bro.

Be a good vassal and kill them all

I switched to western empire because they were gettign snowballed. They were at war with everyone...

I think a problem is that when a faction starts waning, lords will defect to other factions, take their fiefs with them and the faction they left will declare war to get it back. I'm not sure that's why they were at war with literally everyone.

The good news is that after they inevitably lost all their fiefs they made peace with half the factions!
