Dear Colonizers, my gold mines are none of your business

[Bibor]

I understand its an AI bypass. I still think AI colonizers should not claim/want every gold mine in the universe, just because it's there. If they have a colony or province in the same colonial region, fine, but Ottoderps/Ming going -192 for wanting my goldmines in Western Africa is just silly.

WYP and especially WYSP causing 100 trust alliances to break over colonial nations where the nation breaking the alliance doesn't have a single colony is awkward and pretty crappy. It's one thing if Ottomans or whoever want to just backstab player to take land (despite dev statements that they won't do this at 80+ trust). It's another to pick an arbitrary, inane-distance CN with no active interests and tremendous difficulty to actually use as the reason to do it.

"I want your gold mine"
"...Castile you're asking me for my mine which is in the middle of Siberia. You literally would need to carve a path through Persia and the remnants of the Hordes to get it...at best."
"I WANT IT OUR ALLIANCE IS OVER"

1: "We want your gold mine"
2: "You can have it for 0 ducats"
3: "No, we don't really want your gold mine"
4: goto 1

Oh good the AI is behaving like players to an extent.

"Hmmm. I know I am Ming and on the opposite side of the world, but Kilwa would make a good tribuatary. I will conquer Madagascar and they will accept."

"Huh. They sure do have alotta gold in Kilwa..."

"Kilwa. I'm sorry for this bud. Nothing personal."

But we are actually saving Kilwa's economy from that deadly inflation!

Absolutely! And they completely agreed to the foreign takeover when they refused to come to the Madagascaran tribes aid! It was basically a "Our government is weak and corrupt, inflation is destroying us. Please invade us Ming and paint the map a pretty color."

It is of course painful to have to destroy another government, but sometimes sacrifice have to be made for the good of their people.
