Hello, my current game is still running on the 8-7-4 version of Vox Populi. I know that the problem was fixed in later versions, that civs became vassals to equal powerfull or even slightly less powerfull civs.
But I have a general question about Vassalage. If I am in a war with another civilization which is the master of another, can it be that it cant become a vassal itself, f.e. if I am heavenly beating the other civs that they would give me everything in the peace negotiation except their capitals? Or just plain, is it not possible for a master of any vassal relationship to capitulate to anyone else?
At the current point, I beat the master to the point, that the vassal is way stronger. I think, the only possibilty would be for me now, to end the war and hope, that the vassal gets released or revolts to its former master. But I am still afraid, that the former master would become the new vassal to its former vassal, because in that special case, I already have two vassals and I think civs prefer masters with few to none vassals.
Do I get it right?
