Can't Break Non-Agression Pact By Killing the Person Who Made it Possible?

[Kurblius]

Has anyone noticed that you can't break a non-aggression pact if the person who made the alliance is executed? Say I make a non-aggression pact with the King of France via a matrilineal marriage to his son. I bring the son to my court. But then the King becomes Incapable, and I have an opportunity to press a claim. So I excommunicate and then execute the son. But the non-aggression pact still stands! This is really frustrating...And no, I have no other relatives married to the King - we've been removed from both our respective "Pacts" tab.

Bug. NAPs are supposed to break automatically if either:

• the marriage that created them ends
• one of the rulers who signed the pact dies

In the second case the NAP can be restored if the marriage is still in place.

Except, even after all this time, the AI still is incapable of taking advantage of this.

Well, yeah. But then, the AI is incapable of taking advantage of about 90% of any of the tools that are not war related. The AI does not really set proper goals for itself, it just randomly uses options, which is why you see so many inane marriages, useless assassination plots and so on and so forth.
