So, what do you all think, will Common Sense finally make released nations to actually take allies and relationships, or will they continue to remain juicy targets for their old overlord and any and all neighbors?

Is this still the issue it used to be? These days I generally see them get relationships or just peace vassal to their old overlord (grrr) within a few years. It used to be that 20 years later the'd typically not have relations. Maybe not perfect yet, but seems as though it works better.Sadly the latter, I took a stab at it but it's actually a very thorny bug to solve because of the way AI threat/friendship is calculated. It shoudl be a *little* better and it's on my todo for next patch.
