I also noted some really weird quirks by the Spanish. Playing as the French in a Grand Campaign, the Spanish were badly battered (at sea mostly) by the British AI which seems to concentrate on taking Spain out. The British AI does a good job by maintaining the blockade of the Spanish coast and intercepting Spain's dispersed fleet.
So after about a year of battering, Spain concludes peace and lo and behold, the British obtain Madrid as a satellite state named Franco Spanish. When I (as the French) tried to snuff it out and return Madrid to Spain, it just remained occupied territory of the French.
Fast forward a few years, to 1809 and had the Spanish chain of events firing. Joseph was installed as king, somehow I made peace with him (and by event he became an ally even though at still war), and invaded Spain. However, the land did not revert to the Franco-Spanish but remained French occupied.
So is it possible to
a) not allow Spain to give away Madrid to the British as war booty - maybe give Minorca or some colony
b) how is the Franco-Spanish event chain supposed to work?
Finally, is there something wrong with expeditionary forces with the latest patch? I haven't been able to get one from anywhere (though AI seems to do so)
