My precious ally is guaranteeing my target...

[byebytoad]

My Ally Burgundy has put a guarantee on my target (Switzerland).
Despite having 100% trust and excellent relations if I were to attack the Swiss, Burgundy would still join on their side.
As you can imagine having 100% trust I would rather not lose such an ally.
Any advice?

Attack other country, calling in Burgundy, then declare on Switzerland.

Typical "ally" in EU4: Allying/guaranteeing everyone you're about to attack.

It's happens very often. My advice is to attack one of Swiss allies, or go to war with someone, call Burgundy to aid you, and after some time attack Switzerland.

Well the thing is : my claims (on 2 of their regions) on Switzerland expire in 5 years from now.
And I'd like use them to save mp. Regaining those claims might be impossible in the future because they developed espionage ideas and they're counter-espionage me.
So I'd have 0.2 or less network buildup every month with high chances of being discovered.

I thought there could be a way to make Burgundy drop the guarantee, as from time to time I have seen AI dropping guarantee on the guaranteed.
Or at least make so that Burgundy would refuse the call when I attack Swiss.

It's weird to me that I could use 'influence' action to me them drop an alliance but not a guarantee..

Maximise relation with Burgundy, attack Switzerland anyway, focus ong etting Burgundy Out ASAP and and re-ally them ASAP once your at peace again. It's not guaranteed, but with good relation and trust it usually works.

Well this should work since the trust is at max and they don't have many allies .
I'll see if opting for this option or starting 2 wars at the same time: (the one vs Castille bringing Burgundy with me and then starting the one with Switzerland which will bring many more enemies to be fought together).
Thanks for the help
