Rework vassals for SoI update Back

_dogster 15 days ago

These are my ideas for vassals:

1: Nation bonus claims should be given in percentages every week or so, to prevent nations vassalizing for claims, then releasing after 10 minutes. For example, a vassal and their overlord could get 25% of their vassal/overlords total nation bonus every week that they've been vassalized for. If the vassal is released or revolts (and wins freedom) this progress gets reset.

2: For similar reasons to #1, nations should also be vassals for so long (2 weeks seems reasonable) before being able to join their vassal/overlord's sieges.

3: Vassal's SoI is given to their overlord nation, similar to how occupying a fort gives their SoI to their occupier.

4: Vassals should already be inside of their overlords SoI (or at least connected), so that vassals are an extension of their overlord's territory, instead of a colony (this is so that nations don't vassal to one another to join sieges halfway across the world).

5: Overlord nations should have access to more taxation, such as income tax, a percentage of their vassals occupation tax (if the vassal occupies any towns) and resource tax (I'm not sure if this is already a thing, but it should be).

I like ideas 1 & 2, they make a lot of sense for balance purposes, and the additional Vassel/overlord claims was a nice feature to allow for bigger towns.
Idea 3 would limit who could start sieges, as the 10000 blocks from capital rule still applies. This could be seen as a fair balance, or maybe the Vassel shares the SOI with their overlord so that the Vassel can start the siege.
Idea 4 makes a lot of sense, I like it
Idea 5 makes sense as well, but I think the limits on taxing Vassels should have a limit, maybe 25-50% resource tax rather than 100% as the limit

Yeah the overlord and vassal could share the vassals SoI, although it's range could be shortened for balancing purposes. And having limits on taxation seem fair, maybe the longer a nation is a vassal for the higher taxes could be set by their overlord.

Jerry made a suggestion for vassals but was too lazy to log into the website to post it, so I will. "If you vassalize a nation and it agrees to it, overlord nation cannot just release vassals right away, must be at least 2 weeks or sth. Similarly, once you unvassalized nation via willingly vassal or via revolt, you cannot vassalize that nation for 30 days"
