Vassal States

[findes]

Greetings

First of all I'd like to say thank you for your hard work on this mod- realism is what I am always looking for in games, especially the ones like civilization.
My actual question concerns vassal states. When I get another civ to become my vassal, I'm not able to look inside their cities, also I can only demand the resources they want to trade, while according to the manual I should be able to get anything they actually have. I just wonder if it's a bug or some modification on your part. Thanks for the reply.

This is a general problem with Vassels in Warlords. There are lots more - a current one is a Vassel winning the game.

Check the Wartlords threads for others.

Theres one thing you could implement to Vassal states IMO, and that is a one-way tech transfer. Having a vassal state enables you to enter their territory without an open borders treaty (which I rarely sign anyway because of tech transfer), but just to give a better feel on how you are exploiting them, you should get tech transfer if they have something you dont, while they wouldnt get it from you, unless you sign open borders. That is how the big baddies do it.

A very good idea, actually.

Heh
Often when i envassal someone, he dont want to open borders with me couse "we dont like you enough" or "your our worst enemy"... Same with technologies, so i dont think this is doable.

Actually it can be done, we just have to make the "recieveing end" of vassalage treaty behave like open borders in the tech exchange aspect.

master recives tech exchange regardless if he has opened borders ?
