I've heard that you need to pay a tribute fee to the Mauryan Empire, which I can imagine rejecting it will be steps towards independence. However my question is, by continually paying this tribute, aside from stopping a gigantic scripted army coming into your lands, is there any positives to staying 'dependent'? ie. by continually paying tribute will the Mauryan Empire provide extra troops in the recruitment pools or trade bonuses or lower upkeep costs?

Maybe...
