Loyal Protectorates is not possible with the common VH/N setting?

**Atraphoenix** · 01-09-2009, 12:57

Though the title says all, I just want to know that in the advised difficulty setting Very Hard on campaign and Medium on battle is it possible to keep my protectorates loyal to me. I like leaving the factions alive also I use them as my protectorate and serve me as buffer zone state.
I am using alex mostly but I want to learn that with game engine can allow my protectorates be loyal to me.
I will try a trial and tests on exes and be back to report but my main planned exe will be alex.

plz if you any idea what is the best setting(difficulty setting) and exe for this be appriciated to know.

In previous releases, the EB team recommended against the protectorate function because it didn't take into account the money script. This gave the protecting faction a large extra cash inflow. The money script has been tweaked since then, so I am not sure if this still applies.

I played a campaign with EB 1.1 recently and had the Getai as a protectorate. I did not get any extra money because of this. All income was normal.

On H/M it is. Never once been betrayed by a Protectorate. By an Ally, plenty of times. As for the money script, it seems far more reasonable now. I have two protectorates in my AS game and I believe they yield me roughly 10-12k mnai per turn total, which I probably could make by conquering the provinces myself.
