Protectorate Advantages?

[GABS]

There's no problem with giving a faction a huge amount of cash for becoming a protectorate. You'll get 90% of it back at the end of their turn anyway.. huge exploit. You can buy cities off them that way, too.

I either missed it or havent seen, I understand yoyu get money after they pay city expenses, BUT if for some reason they field a huge army and are losing moeny, do you get the bill?

I think they should of added a AI assist so can steer your protectorate towards same goals as cites. This way you could have them go for trade production items and thus make more moeny to give to you.

I guess this explains why protectorates I succeeded in getting net me zero money.

They were in debt with their armies. At least, I didn't pay for thier debts, but also didn't got any money either.
