Thanks for the article!
I read it after acquiring a voluntary vassal, and decided to see if I could provoke Joao into breaking away so I could overrun him. I put a huge force on my border with him and stationed a couple of agents in his nearest city, building up lots of EPs along the way. Then I started requisitioning his assets.
I wound up with a nice tech for free, plus his iron, horse, spices, fish, 3 corn, and 3 silk. His cities are starving and he's still my best friend (+12)!
Sometimes a kind word and a gun....
