What's the deal with becoming a client state? As Sweboz I was fighting the Romans near the Alps which was distracting me form expaned westwards like I wanted to. Then they suggested I become a client state of theirs, so I thought "why not?"
As far as i can see they took about 80,000mnai (that wasn't in the agreement), and then left me along to go on my merry way.
Not maintaining 2 large armies on my southern borders will save me more than 80,000mnai in a couple of years, and now I don't have the risk of fighting on 3 fronts at once.
Other than the shame of considering myself a catamite every waking hour (no offence to real catamites out there), what other effects does becoming a client state have? I'm presuming that I only need to rebel against Rome when my armys are ready to throw off their yoke...
