I think, you need to appear "being weak" militarily too in order for the AI to bite. If you have a large army next to the faction you're trying to annoy they are not likely to attack.

Like that plan…it can be done. I’ve been pursuing the Iroquois with only 2 thirds of a stack (settings VH battles, Normal campaign this time) so by the time I get to them I may well seem weak!

Noticed, oddly, that I can build colonial dragoons…didn’t think France got them?!?
