Subject Gameplay Improved
This is the updated version of the Mod. Lost the old File so I had to make a new page.
Designed for players who wish to LARP a little bit and manage a network of subject states instead of directly annexing territory.
Used and updated the system used in this mod (EDIT: I think original may have been updated, it has some different features, check it out): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3417228168
Used the decree from the state transfer tool (but doesn’t add the mod itself, doesn’t conflict): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880446671&searchtext=state+transfer
– Enforce subsidies on subjects to guarantee their economic stability.
– Impose government principles to align their internal politics with the overlord’s ideology.
– Lease innovation and building capacity.
– Force the creation and maintenance of armies and navies within subject nations to favor strong and usefull subjects.
– Designate a subject as a chartered company, transferring its governance to an overlord-controlled company.
– This system reflects historical colonial arrangements where trading companies directly managed territories on behalf of imperial powers.
– Transfer individual states from a puppet to the overlord without infamy. Transferred states are non-integrated.
– Annexation trough confederation: allows integration of culturally similar puppets into the overlord’s state with full integration. To limit the bad Victoria 3 annexation mechanic if you want to make temporary subject arrangements (this is obviously pretty exploitable but pretty usefull for RP, try not to abuse it.)
– Provide full tax exemptions to subjects, freeing their economies from overlord burdens.
– Send aid to increase market access during shortages.
– Offer legislative assistance to accelerate their law enactment.
– Transfer production method technology to AI-controlled subjects to encourage having puppets.
– All puppets receive a modest increase to income and construction capacity. To encourage releasing and keeping subject instead of annexing every conquered land.

Purpose:
The overall goal is to promote a style of play where the overlord actively develops and coordinates its subjects, creating puppet states capable of economic growth and military participation.
(Historically, great powers often relied on such arrangements, turning loyal subjects into strong allies rather than absorbing them entirely. Think of a British Commonwealth)
