Hi,

Just a quick note on vassaling really, but I am playing on vh/vh grand camp as england and as time progressed was attacked by denmark.

Moved stacks towards Antwerp where the danes are, then french decided to attack Caen which had a couple of militia in it and a family member. Nightmare! So decided to move back to Caen with my Antwerp army to break the siege.

Now, during the Frenchies next go they send their princess to Caen, who enters diplomatic negotians with me (even though the siege is well underway) and asks me to become a Vassal. I counter this to say ok- for 2000 florins, then she counter offers 1200 florins for 10 turns!

I agree, more income for me, don't have to fight the French so concentrate on the Danes. Then later the Milanese come in and virtually destroy the French who leave Paris undefended... Well I think you can guess what happened then.

As in Rome, it seems that being someones Vassal is easier than the other way round!
