New Federation members leave instantly

[Riddick Falcon]

Hi, i think i found a bug and don't know where to report it. When I start a new federation the other empire i start the federation with leaves immediately. This has happened twice now on two separate saves and is a little game breaking for me.

Had the same in my first game with Overlord. Second game went fine.

Did the ally have a vassal previous to forming the federation?

This happened to me too. Tried a couple of different federation types. Only using cosmetic mods.

no mods that affect achievements, so nothing that should affect the way the game plays in that way

Got same problem. My guess is that new fed member don't want to stay with certain vassal.
Don't know why the AI did not check relation with federation member's vassal before accepting invitation first.

On side note: the AI seems to obsessively try to kick vassal out of federation including Overlord who kept them in sometimes. Afraid of overwhelming voting power perhaps....

I ended up give up federation and go vassalize everyone instead because of said problems.

And you can invite them right away again. And again they will leave on the spot.

It's because they don't want to be in the federation with their own vassals.
When joining the AI does not forsee these consequences.

Disable "underlings join" for better results.
