This is another thing which seriously annoys me. I was playing as France on Saturday and had as my allies Oman, Egypt, Morocco and Catalonia (once I'd freed it). I'd fight Spain THREE TIMES A DECADE as they would take on first Morocco, then Catalonia, then Egypt but when I checked their Infamy thinking it must be astronomical it was only 7!
Whereas, I was reduced to freeing bits of Spain's empire in each war because I could never get my Infamy down. I established an independent Cuba and a fully-independent Philippines eventually but never anything for myself, because to do so would have brought with it a huge whack of Infamy
Yet Spain could constantly and repeatedly declare aggressive wars for the purpose of annexing territory without ever wracking up a high Infamy score
Its just nuts!

If they had ( just one ) core province in the region they ask for, they can declare an Infamy - free war, as it was the case in Catalonia and Morocco ... the 7 must be for the Egypt one.
