Creating vassal nations

[A_Turkish_Guy]

İ am playing an immortal game.i didnt check vassal options but i cant creat vassal nations from alt+f1 button.i click alt+f1 and game gives me option for grant independence for .... cities.i choose one of them but it is not working.

 

[Sun Tzu Wu]

The only possible reason for not being able to create Colonies is the No Vassals option is selected.

Capitulation of enemy Empires into Vassals requires either Empire to have the Feudalism technology. Peace Vassals also must Capitulate, so the Feudalism technology is required for Empires to Vassal peacefully as well.

The only requirement for creating Colonies (Friendly Vassals) is there are two or more cities on a continent or island and the (player's) capital is on another continent or island; those overseas cities can be split off as a Friendly (the only type of) Colony. The Feudalism technology is not required to create Colonies; Feudalism is required for Capitulation; Capitulation is not needed to create Colonies.

İ have only two options checked.1-no barbarians.2-lock modified assets.
i realize that another settler game has the same problem.i tried my previous games for creating colonies but no problem with that games.i m still waiting for a solution.

F8 gives you the options for that game. Have you checked that No Vassals isn't selected there? Have you checked the requirements (2 cities on another continent) as per Sun Tzu Wu's post above? You could check the start file on the HoF Website (you need to be logged in) to check whether your assets have become corrupted somehow?

post a save

 

[Sun Tzu Wu]

Post a save that demonstrates the issue, but not a save from a game you plan to submit to the HoF. That might violate HoF rules.

Optionally start a new game with asset checking off, so you can quickly set up the situation you are having with World Builder rather than play that far into a new game just to illustrate the issue.

If you don't have any empty slots (like DEAD AI), then you can't make vassals/colonies.
Do you have 17 opponents?

Excellent point! I didn't even consider this possibility. That is probably the issue here.

If you have 17 AI Civs that are alive, you will not be able to create a Colony.

If you have at least one DEAD AI Civ among the 17 AI Civs listed or have less than 17 AI Civs listed, you should be able to create a Colony.
