Surrender

[Primus_Pilus]

How does someone gain a surrender from a Faction? There's no option in the diplomacy options. is it really a Faction Destruction?

[Baeksen]

You ask them for peace and state your terms. As far as I remember it is quite difficult to get a peace if you are playing vanilla.

what effect does Protectorate have?

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Hi,
I belive that a protectorate gives you:

• A large cash tribute from the protected faction each turn.
• An alliance, trade rights and military access both ways (meaning that you have permission to walk on their lands henceforth they don't have a good excuse if they attack you for it)
• Their lands count as your own (eg. if the protected faction was to have two territories and you had twenty then your count would be twenty-two.
• You have a cast iron guarantee that they will not attack you although the alliance may end if one of their allies attack you.

Good luck and cheers!
