Austria...useless?!

[Melvish]

In my experience Austria is one of the most dumb and obstinate AI faction.
In my last French game i had conquered all America (except for my Native Nations allies) plus divided India between me and MC. Made peace with UK and UP by offering them generous amount of gold (take 100k of gold or i burn your capital!!! common sense answer: ok)
As hard as i tried i never managed to have Austria(who was reduced to 1 province) to agree to end the war. Even when i offered to give them back ALL their provinces plus 200k gold they refused squarely and say i will rue that day (lol). To bad for them them, i ring up Bavaria PM and place that offer: become my vassal and i'll give ALL Austria territories plus 200k gold. They happily accepted.

And thus was born the Mighty and Terrible Bavarian Empire
