With both the Everwar and the Against the Tide galactic achievements, when they are completed, all wars are automatically ended. Why? As a player, I should have the option to seek peace with any civilizations with whom I want to seek peace and continue to engage in war with those with whom I want to continue fighting. The reason is, I cannot just declare war again immediately, I have to wait for some number of weeks to pass (25?) before I can declare war again.
My suggestion is that, at the successful conclusion of these 2 galactic achievements, I should be congratulated and informed that I can now seek peace if I so choose. The wars should not automatically be ended.
