Unable to invite vassal ?

[Madrick]

Hi,

I just played a bit (as Burgundy) and found out something that disturbed me:

My alliance ran out and I immediately invited the old members again (= Poland, Bavaria, Sweden). When I came to Bavaria which was diplo-vassalized by Poland during the time they were in the alliance the option invite was disabled. I watched this once again for Poland/Baden. Is this normal ? I don't get the sense of this rule.
It has nothing to do with the maximum number of alliance members because I could still invite other nations. Relations were very good, too.

This is normal. I believe the rule is that only the Master(Poland) can enter into alliances with the vassalised(Bavaria and Baden). This may have to be checked by others on the forums as I am a relative noob.

Yes, that is the rule. Vassals cannot marry, and can only join an alliance led by their masters.

that sucks, cause I want to be the leader
Perhaps this should be changed to:
"vassals can only join alliances of which their overlord is a MEMBER"
