45 year Ally, fighting wars together then "Me want provinces!" Sigh.

Given how much you've grown, how little they have grown, how you apparently didn't even deign to give them an occupied claim last war AND then you take a french province they are claiming... The only thing they did wrong was not ditching you sooner.

AI can not reason on human levels. It needs some lines that it won't let an ally cross or else it can just be taken advantage of completely. Taking provinces that it sees as rightfully belonging to it is one of these. More transparency would be good though, and some sort of warning that you're about to cross said line.

There is leeway, trust matters a lot in bringing down desire for provinces, but if you say take Constantinople the Ottomans are always going to hate you, and France is nearly always going to want the French culture lands sooner or later. I think the problem here is one of lack of transparency more than anything.

You wouldn't get the not given claims penalty if they weren't actually occupying it, and if the AI is supposed to factor 'player will probably beat me in the future' into their thinking then they should all just day-one DOW you instead of allying you.

I was the one occupying Barrios a the peace deal, it was also a claim for both of us, not an occupied core. I'm not sure what your getting at with the "player will probably beat me in the future," Lolanda was referring to a relations penalty over a period of time if you occupied provinces in their region, is that what your referring to?

The not occupied probably came from an earlier war.
