Description:

Ever wanted to rule like a true steppe warlord, extracting wealth from your lessers without moving a finger? This mod adds new diplomatic tools for acquiring tributaries — no longer having to resort to war like a fool!

1. Demand Tribute Interaction

• Target neighboring rulers to demand tribute, much like nomads do.
• Not available against herders – Can’t harm Nomads’ bread and butter.
• On success, the target becomes a tributary, paying regular tribute while retaining autonomy.

2. Release Vassal as Tributary

• Convert an existing non-de jure vassal into a tributary.
• Useful for trimming realm size, reducing management overhead, or roleplaying a looser, more decentralized empire.
• Only available if the vassal doesn’t hold de jure territory under your titles.

3. Permanent Tributaries (New!)

• Subjugate or demand permanent tributary status.
• Works like a normal subjugated tributary, but is inherited by your heir!
• Higher prestige cost to subjugate and higher reluctance when demanding.
• Also available when releasing vassals
• Note: AI does not use these options to avoid disruptive gameplay.

4. Pledge Tribute as Vassal (New!)

• You can now rerquest to become a tributary.
• For this to be available you must be a non de jure vassal.
• Note: AI does not use this interaction to avoid disruptive gameplay.
