If you lose a relationship level with an NPC faction, you do not go down to the next level down (Say peace -> neutral), you go straight to war status.

Tested with AI using Sway Ideology. Resulted in instant war after being dropped from 10 relationship to -10 while at peace.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Reach peace or higher level relationship with an NPC faction. Have another leader use Sway Ideology on you, such that your relationship drops to a negative value.

Will attach save, on the next turn the Sway ideology covert op will trigger. Before ending the turn, note the current relationship level with the Growth NPC faction.

Hey TheDarkMaster, thanks for your report. I've played around a bit with lowering relationship levels on AI and the issue seems to be exclusive to Sway Ideology. Normally declining demands lowers the relationship level as normal. All the information you provide has been passed on to the Gameplay Team for a fix.
