Does the AI understand how to use the 'Release Puppet' wargoal? Its apparent to me that the AI is incapable of releasing nation states for various reasons but are they also incapable of freeing puppet states? (thinking in terms of Russia/Ottoman empire puppets, Dai Nam/Siam puppets, Prussia/Denmark puppets)
. I think this game needs an expansion that improves the political and diplomatic side of the game. It's gotten better with AHD and the patches, but it still has a ways to go.
