Ok, I've beaten the Quebecois to a bloody pulp, cleaned out Montreal and destroyed the Quebec navy. I'm at the doors of Quebec City and I want to turn my attention elsewhere. Quebec has almost nothing left to fight with, except its far too large navy (Need to be changed, BTW). Shouldn't they be ready for peace at any price??
I think that getting an a.i.-controlled country to stop fighting is a critical problem for an upcoming patch. They habitually fight LONG after any chance of victory is gone, and, while that may have worked for a police state such as Nazi Germany, even hopes for a francophone utopia wouldn't keep Quebec's army in the field forever! The a.i. must be taught to accept peace offers, perhaps with a bit of land concession (i.e. favorable border adjustment) or other concession thrown in. It shouldn't require epnding 10 gazillion dollars to bribe them into it.

I have managed to get Quebec to accept ceasefire with Ontario after heavily beating them. It does depend on the other diplomatic things which have already gone on. In my case they attacked me, I beat them, I got ceasefire. If you attacked them, they will hate you horribly based on their starting dislike for you and are unlikley to ever accept peace.
If you're sure you have a situtation where the AI should be accepting a ceasefire, send us a savegame with LOTS of details and we'll look at the case. This is what we need to do ourselves when we want some area of the AI touched up.
I'm still not convinced that the AIs should give in more than they do (since a human player would not) but we'll certainly look at savegames we are sent. Just no promises on how quickly...
