Say hello to my little friend

[guineawolf]

In current Julli game I have taken over the whole of spain except one last Spanish region. I wanted to force a surrender and have them become a protectorate, just to see what it was like.

However no matter what I offered (22000 in cash at the last count) or who I sent (a good diplomat and an army) they will not accept. I've tried a combination of money, threats and a quick seige to ram home the point but had no joy at all.

Has anyone got some experience of getting this type of process to work? Are some factions more less likely to surrender? Does being Roman count against a player more?

One last point is that the senate has now asked me to get this surrender as well and while I realise I can attack and just take the region I want to get at least one protectorate at some stage in the game. The Britons being my next target.

if i am not wrong ,that you need at least 100k(100,000) denarii to do that,i do it last time when senate ask me(as Scipii) to make a faction(1 last city left) become protectorate of Romans,the time i do it was i am owning more than 40 cities and i offer 100k denarii to them......since i have 4M denarii in my coffer,it is a small amount....and that is the time i lost my 4M(4000000)

But after become my protectorate,Brutii destroyed them.........
