Different kinds of Vassals

[DetectiveRedstoner 7]

I propose the idea of having different types of Vassals, each having it's own level of Autonomy. This feature is something much needed for this game.

 

The different kind of vassals could be:

• Puppet governments (vanilla vassals)

• Autonomous region

• Protectorate

• Colony

• Crown dependency

• Tributary states, etc.

I imagine different types have different levels of autonomy, so like

Colonies can't declare war or control any foreign policy; But they can declare independence if they are different culture/religion, or taxes are too high, etc.

Whereas a Protectorate can declare war, but with the permission of it's lord (needs to have good relation with the lord country). But it still cannot control any foreign policy, or diplomacy. And when declaring independence, the lord country doesn't automatically declare war.

Tributaries are vassals that are obliged to give you armies on demand (levies). They also pay higher taxes then other types.

Autonomous Region cannot do anything, cant control even their own internal buildings or armies. They are the same color as lord country, and it's just a seperate name from their lord country on the map.

Anyways, this is all for now!
