Relationship between diplomatic acts and kingdom power

[Kris Rhodes]

In one game I'm playing, toward the beginning, I had kingdom power five, and dishonored a royal marriage inheritance demand from an ally, they declared war, and I was bumped all the way down to -5 kingdom power. (Oops. Quit. Reload. :rofl: Hey I'm still learning here...) Later in that game, though, I was at 5 kingdom power, and dishonored a royal marriage inheritance demand from an ally, they declared war on me, and I remained at KP of 5.

The only difference I can think of between the two situations is that in the first situation, the ally and I were co-religionists, while in the second situation, we were not.

Any ideas what was the deal here?

What all do I need to know about the relationship between my diplomatic actions and my kingdom power?

Hmm on second thought, I'm starting to think I have remembered the first situation incorrectly. I think the first situation was one where I made the royal marriage inheritance demand.

Well, shoot, now I can't remember.

Anyway, I still want to know: What is there to know about the relationship between diplomatic actions and kingdom power?

There surely is a diference that when you claim the land, it is you who declares war (your claim is DoW) so you lose KP
On the other side, when it is your ally who claims your land, it is he who declares war, so he loses the KP.

The second part of your post looks that this was the situation
