Here's the deal...
I'm Austria and I'm real cozy with Spain. I beat up on Bohemia, get my infrastructure in order, waiting for the time is right to team up with Spain and kick some Ottoman butt. Then Spain annexes Navarra. Shoom!, down from a 155 all the way to 42.
Now I realize this isn't badboy but that all relations take a hit when you annex a country of the same religion, but why don't I have any control in the matter? Y'know, tell my ambassador when everyone's yelling at Spain to shut his trap. Yeah, I can send Spain 100 ducs to show 'em some love but wouldn't some kind words (FREE kind words) do the trick?
This explains why in one game as Brandenburg me and France were doing alright, then I POLITICALLY annex Hessen, France annexes Lorraine - WHAMMO! Instant beloathed enemies. The DOW came three years later as France, Poland, Cologne, and Savoy came after me and my alliance members deserted me - free arse-beatings, one line no waiting!
Any one else have this problem??
