Protectorates still baffle me. Yesterday playing as the Britons, Germany became a Protectorate (Why did they even accept? They had 8 regions and I had maybe 9!). I had been fighting the Gauls (who only had one region and would not accept the same deal at all) who were allied with the Germans.
So when the Germans accept the deal, I get the diplomacy info automatically saying a ceasefire had been declared between me and Gaul. Well, that's unnacceptable so I go ahead and attack gaul, I get the neutral faction bit but then I get the alliance in tatters screen regarding Germany. What alliance? Their my colonialized slaves! What would I care who they want to be allied with? I own them!![]()
They were still on my list as a protectorate but my tribute dropped from 27,000 the first turn to 2,000 from then on.
