My vassal keep deleting the fortresses I build in his provinces

(In a Bharat game, with a minor Thibetan (Tirut ?) covering, well, Tibet. Four fortress, that keep getting deleted when I do not look at it.

How is their income? Maybe would keep the fort if you subsidized them?

...Fortifications built in vassals lands is not on you ?

(That's a real issue with a game as patched as EU IV, I genuinely think, since nine, ten, eleven expansion ago that fortress maintenance was on the overlord dime)

I think if you build through subject interaction it makes the overlord pay but if you do it directly it makes the vassal pay.

At least that's what I took from my last campaign. My march deleted the forts I build directly but I think it kept the one I built through subject interaction

Try making it a march for the fortify march option which will make you pay for the fortress you build. As a bonus the march will get 20% fort defence

Yeah, they started deleting castles that were normally built for them (not through the fortify march interaction) in either Leviathan or 1.32 (IRC I noticed it in Leviathan when I wanted to use the time old trusted indebt your vassals with forts and pay off debts for LD reduction tactic), but it also happened for me with courthouses I've pre-built in a vassal I was annexing, even though those have no upkeep and are beneficial for the vassal too. Since that affair I haven't really invested in them to see if it's a recurring issue or not though, but I was also playing campaigns where money was more of an issue for myself too.

Subsidies and/or paying off debt will allow their economy to stabilize.
In the 1.33 beta, AI is much less prone to deleting forts, so I think this issue will be resolved in the future.

They are selling it for scrap. Build better castles?

1)It worked through the march button, thank you.

2)But the vassal still have to pay for the maintenance (with a 20% reduction)
