CIVILIZATION 4 VASSAL STATE MODS

I hope I can manage to make an interesting Gameplay out of it that fills the Immersion gap. Eventhough Immersion is a major Focus of 4Xpansion Pass, Gameplay gets always prioritized over Immersion and Historicity. It’s technically possible to mod, but the sheer amount of Time it would need to make Back-up Leaders for all the Civs for a possible scenario where a Leader gets overthrown to vassalize/puppet its Civ isn’t worth the effort IMO, I’m not interested in that tbh and I also don’t think that it’s necessary. And in this Mechanic, it’s the not-possibility of changing the Leader of a Civilization that gets vassalised/puppeted.

Due to lack of Modding Possibilities or because of certain limitations when making new Mechanics in Mods that aren’t Overhaul Mods (like to ensure Compatibility with other Mods), certain design choices needed to be made, which can be a reason why certain things will come across not quite as interesting and immersive as they could/should be. Mmm… PleaseIgnoreTyposAndGrammaticalNoGo’s. Be sure you grab it ASAP, otherwise the other AI's will jump on it.- The Doc is very long, so grab a Coffee and some Cookies before starting to read A city or two, the strain of 10+ rounds of war and strategic pillaing and bombardments will have the AI beg for it in no time. You don't even need to have any significant gains. Oh and also, to get an AI to capitulate, bombard, pillage, etc. You don't actually replace the countries with your poeple, you just take over the commands and move on to the next target. You need to think in terms of the Mogonlian, Roman, German, English, French empires.

On the bright side, I just managed a conquest victory with only 28% of the land mass by vassaling ALL the AI's I hadn't anilihated If anything, you need to protect your vassals better than yourself because loosing a vassal city hurts much more than loosing one of your cities. If they take too much out of your vassals, they can break off vassalship and will typically capitulate to the big enemy you are fighting. If you go to war, I have noticed the AI will go for soft targets (vassals are usually soft). I still think the master should be able to terminate vassalship at any time, or perhaps after 10 rounds like other deals.Īnother thing to know about vassals is that you need to put troops in their cities (esp. BE SURE YOU DON'T ALT or SHIFT-CLICK a non-vassal, as it will immediatly trigger war WITHOUT confirmation. You can ALT-Click the vassal in the point list (right bottom) to quickly demand vassal tribute. It doesn't work automatically, but most of the time it does. When I have no resource to demand, I will typically ask for gold or gold/turn.

In the same fashion, asking for 2 tributes (either forced or capitulated) will be a 100% refusal and will still carry the reputation hit. You cannot ask for gold or gold/turn, only resources. If he refuses, it's automatic war (although I've never seen them refuse). In such a case the option will be 'We demand this for your tribute or this means WAR!'. Basically, at each turn you get to demand 1 resource which cannot be refused.
