Those things are not fixed. They seem to be random. In my game they were allied with the Italians and no one else.

In my game Bavaria is a protectorate of Württemberg along with two or three other nations, to include Prussia.

This is a complaint I have about 1.4. The protectorate system didn't need changing. Now you can not get a protectorate, so far as my experience goes.

The Netherlands is a protectorate of Hanover! This is silly! The strength and prestige of the Protector should be a factor. When those factors are too low these nations should break with the protector and find someone better to provide their security.


by the way Tsar of Floyd, Welcome aboard!
