And if you have a bad relationship with a faction they won't accept anything! Even if your offer is VERY VERY generous. The only time I can forge an alliance with a faction later on in the game is when we have common enemies (e.g. I was spain, the scots p0wnd the brits, I p0wnd the scots and I got a request from England to be his friend, then they backstabbed me [eventhough they had 3 region and I like whole europe] so I exterminated them). Nother time I allied myself to Sicily (me being Venice) and we shared borders and thus they started to dislike me. I even helped them defeat a great Milanese army, but still they didn't like me; so I killed them.
I just have mixed feelings, one time they amaze me the other time it's a facepalm.
