Random Breaking of Royal Marriages

[Rebel1776]

Came back to EUIV after many months, and started a Brandenburg Game.

To my dismay, i've come to find out after RMing Austria, that they'll just randomly drop my RM once they exceed their relations limit. Apparently Austria isn't the only case that this happens with, it's just an example.

I decided to do some searching and noticed some brief threads on Reddit regarding the issue, but haven't been able to locate such a thread here.

Is this being addressed in the upcoming 1.23 Patch?

It's not an issue and thus it won't get "fixed", it's an intentional design choice: the AI stopped prioritizing the player and saving an extra slot for him. Now, you're treated like every AI, and the AI sees which relation he values the most to decide which one he'll drop. Max out relations and keep a good diprep if you want to keep them on your side.

As above. If an AI is over limit and doesn't value you enough, they'll break off relations. I'm not 100% sure how the evaluation works, but if you have multiple diplomatic relations with the same country then breaking one of them isn't going to bring them below the limit. If you're an RM partner and nothing else and they just have an okay opinion of you and aren't concerned with upsetting you then you're in the gun to get dropped.
