How much has it changed? The tooltip says each city you own (so I assume it applies to both puppet and annexed cities) increases Social Policy cost by 5%. It used to be 33% increase if it is annexed, and 0% increase if puppeted.
I heard there is also a 5% tech penalty regardless of the status of the city, is it true? Is there a production penalty as well?
Is it correct to assume that the only statistical difference between annexed city and puppets in BNW is that annexed city has a lot more unhappiness (removed after courthouse), and puppets suffer 50% cultural and science penalty?
If these are real, then puppeting seems useless now.
