Derpy AI behavior on peace negotiations

[Beagá]

Seeing some Gumby/Hodor behavior.

Ottomans DOWed Wallachia with mission and didn´t vassalize them. Yep, they asked for Wallachia to concede defeat, because apparently romanian ubermensch spanked them. They didn´t, but still.

Seeing other instances where the AI peaces too soon, or for too little. France DOWed Milan for Lombardy (was allied with France). Sweet, I thought, time to nom nom more Italy.

Wrong.

36 warscore (in no small part on my efforts to occupy Vienna ASAP and get warsocre for me too) and poof Peace in Exchange for releasing Baden´s vassalization and other crap.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

This is really noticeable with the "Get a presence in India" mission. If it's an OPM, the AI will annex. If it's a 2PM, they'll occupy on province then ask for concede defeat. I think it has to do with the length of war modifier and AI lethargy in getting troops where they need to go.

Which I guess explains why the length of war modifier is so big.

Happens now and then with the Heresy wars. OPM is target of the war, gets occupied, years pass and finally the aggressor makes them pay a lot of gold... What?

Sometimes happens when declaring wars on native americans, especially southamericans and mesoamericans. They occupied most of their provinces and just declare white peace or concede defeat, after the second or third war, they start to demand provinces.

I see this a lot too. AI would go into a war, pour all their heart and soul in it (manpower and money) and then go for something like release nation, revoke core instead of conquest. Perhaps such AI behavior is part of the larger conspiracy to avoid gigantic AI blobs and coalitions?

Hodor?

Hodor?

You could think that way, but if doing what the CB asks would make AE above Coalition threshold the AI shouldn´t even DOW in the first place.

Then again people use Claims and Conquest CB often to accomplish other things instead, like monies or break vassalizations/free nations... So maybe it IS WAD.
