Re: protectorates?
I'm fairly certain they exact a hefty tribute from you, so it does effect your economy....I've become the AS's Protectorate as Baktria....they might not betray you right away, but it really doesn't stop them from attacking.
You would think that they wouldn't want to attack a subject state which was reduced to a tributary role....but that's the delightful world of R:TW diplomacy for ya.

Re: protectorates?
Any remaining treasury you have at the end of the turn is shipped to your master. Not a big deal. They'll declare war soon enough anyway.

Re: protectorates?
So...if I make a faction which has 50,000 mnaii in the treasury my protectorate, I would be a very rich man the next turn?

Re: protectorates?
Yes, I do believe I remember people saying there was something wrong with the money script because after one turn they gained many 100's of thousands of mnai....turned out a protectorate of theirs was the donor IIRC.
I've never had a protectorate in EB though, and only once in vanilla...

Re: protectorates?
ptolemy demanded that i become their protectorate, but i declined for two reasons: personal pride, even if it is a game i like to act like a REAL leader ie, no ones bitch. and the other reason was a war against the ptolemies could earn money in the long term. thinking ahead children
Re: protectorates?
I rarely even get the option to make them my protectorate, are there any special conditions?
"Something can be done, by careful analysis, to sort out truth from propaganda and legend. But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."
