It should mean that France is a vassal to the HRE. Vassals still can have their own allies and enemies.Originally Posted by Didz
I´ve never tried to make the faction I had to eliminate my vassal, so I can´t answer the first part. The second part, however, is simple: Yes, you can declare war on a faction that´s a vassal to someone else without automatically triggering a war with the overlord. However, the overlord will not like it very much that you attacked his vassal (the same goes for allies, by the way) so expect a drop in your relationship. And if you´re allied with the overlord you´ll most likely lose your alliance, unless you can somehow get the vassal to initiate the war.On a secondary point: Can anyone confirm what impact vassalage has on Faction Goals and diplomacy, for example, if Scotland were to make England a vassal state would that satisfy their faction goal for the Short Campaign or does elimination mean exactly that, also is is possible to declare war on a vassal without going to war with its protector?
