Protectorates

[janmichaeldave]

can anyone tell me what is the use of protectorates

[orwell]

They pay you and the game counts their territories as yours. I find they make great Iron Curtains.

[Avicenna]

Save you time, soldiers and money (no need to conquer them). Count towards faction objectives. Give you money every turn.

At least in 1.2 it's much easier to obtain a Protectorate. The 1.5 diplomacy sucks completely.

[Byzantine Mercenary]

i know, its hard to give provinces away let alone get protectorates

Is there any summary of the problems with diplomacy in 1.5?

I was under the illusion that the 1.2 diplomacy-ai was completely bugged and 1.5 fixed that.

[edyzmedieval]

It was practically impossible to gain a protectorate in 1.5...
And after 1 try of ceasefire or ally thing, when you want to offer them something else to accept, they closed it without looking.

Call that good diplomacy?
