1.07c handles things much better now. But we seem to have a new problem:
If my observations are correct, then positive relations are still slowly improving over time, but not BEYOND +140. Any other benefits have to come from royal marriages or donations. If a country is already a vassal, relations seem not to improve by itself even if still below +140.
Now, as the AI isn´t inclined to improve relations by donations, we have the situation, that (apart from the rare inheritance event) the only vassalisations/diplomatical annexations occuring in the game are those enacted by the human player. This is a bit too much of a constriction IMO and should be slightly adjusted in the next patch.
