Started a Prussian campaign (M/M), Got Bavaria, Hannover Wurttemburg Wesphalia Georgia and Savoy to become my protectorates. I realised I wasn't going to get anywhere in europe so I decided I would send an army to the new world. 27 years later that still hasn't happened.

There is no logical reason that it should have declared war on me considering I just beat 2 major nations to their knees, We were allies for a few years and had been trading partners for much longer
and both had Sweden AND Poland as enemies.

There are several nations in my game that are war with all of europe for no apparent reason. I really was hoping this patch might change things, but diplomacy is still hopeless.

Okay Russia is a similar sized country to me and to some people maybe they think russia thought it was a good time to pick on me, Then CA can at least get Russia to either send me a letter of demands before it declares war or give some sort of pathetic excuse in a news bulletin telling me why theyve declared war before the DoW panel comes up.
I agree with your last point, it would be nice to get some official reasoning why the war broke out (which may or may not be the same as the real reason). However, don't you think that it is bit hasty to conclude based on one DoW which seemed to be irrational to you, that diplomacy is entirely broken?

By the way IMO you just captured one of the eastern polish provinces (Vilnius?) which might be amongst the Russian victory conditions. Also, would not you be afraid of a "friend" who keeps conquering its neighbours?
