If you see Austria

[Kingreaper]

I'd kind of like to see either an increasing cost (which could start slightly lower than the current one) or some sort of refresh time on the marriage ability.

The idea of having multiple city states marrying into the same nation in a few turns feels wrong to me; it just doesn't work in my head, and by the sounds of it causes significant problems on higher difficulty levels. (I don't play high enough levels to have any trouble with it)

one good thing about Austria is that you can raze the cities aquired diplomatic marriage.

I've just finished my first game - immortal, standard continents - and I have to agree with everything the OP says. I want a button to turn Austria off in the random selection start

Marrying one city state should make at least one city state permanently angry with the AI.
