    sounds nice - ive never had that kind of money though.

    i have never ever ever managed to get a protectarate, even with single province states.

    currently i have a massive hay empire and i find my income has stuck around 30k for years if anything with further conquests it now declines.

    i am bordering the KH at the moment (having just destroyed the maks) will the greek state really give me much extra money?

    Much? Well, if you play KH and you control the Aigean you have enough Economy to support a three front war!

    Cool strategy; too bad in my games the AI won't ever accept even a ceasefire no matter what.

    A ceasefire is quite something different from a protectorate. Both require a douceur or a careful management of your wars. Very careful, very controlled, and very accute. You've got to have the upper edge but you also have got to take care not to offend the AI too much and to time your diplomacy exactly right.

    having protectorates suck... because they wont do anything afterwards... nothing they just sit and do nothing... maybe they are supposed to... but i dont like it... i cant order them to go kill for me... so it sux.

    and btw you do get everything back, and the bribe needs to be very big yes, usually even millions. so it does work, and its indeed an old trick.

    but what truly sux is this: in some patch thougth it was 1.2 you got all the money the protectorates made, now thats something. i made 1.5 billion that way, having 3 protectorates.

    We do not sow.

    i would like a protecterate just tp fill up dead space on the campagn map. i would like to be able to give protecterates varios p[rovinces which have no financial or strategic importance to me and are simply a drain on the resources.

    To give a protectorate territory, just offer settlements... What's the problem?

    Although I strongly agree with you that there are some provinces which you really don't want to conquer, I have to tell you that no settlement actually drains your treasury. Every settlement adds to your treasury, as long as you don't count the buildings' costs you build there as a drain.
