Capitulation and Vassal States

[vonJahgmann]

One of the more significant Civ4 game play features I miss in Civ5 is Capitulation and the subsequent creation of Vassal States. When the outcome is certain, the lengthy, anti-climatic clean-up action to fully conquer (or erase) a losing civilization can really bog down the game play --- especially on huge maps.

I have some rough ideas on the mechanics of what would need to done, but haven't a clue (yet) as to how to bring that about.

I suspect I'll have to hack some LUA together, though I am not certain where to start.

Any suggestions?
