So, the AI is a nub about making peace. I'm sure this isn't news, but here are a couple examples I thought might be illuminating, in case some dev happens to read this thread:
1.) AI occupies both provinces of a two-province country. Has cores on both. Can annex for 0 infamy (with the latest patch), but instead takes one province, 17 ducats, and force-vassalizes, accruing 4 infamy.
2.) AI has the mission to subjugate a OPM. AI occupies said nation. AI peaces out for 44 ducats.
I have no idea how the AI is coded, but as long as we're dreaming about an AI that understands not to screw itself with non-core HRE maluses...here's hopin'.
