Patronage just got a very very very subtle but important buff.
"We attacked your protected City-State" statements are now triggered by damage done (ex. killing a unit) rather than simply being at war. As a result, the statement should no longer be triggered by a quick succession of DoWs (such as those done automatically by a CS changing allies).
A good strategy on paper was to go patronage for +20 and then Pledge to protect anyone not near some big jerk and you'd get friends at the very least with the ones surrounded mostly by your borders.
In practice if you weren't allies, you'd get caught up in the wars of the rest of the continent no matter how unlikely that a unit of your CS would stroll anywhere near them.

Good fun.
