Re: What would you like to see in an expansion pack
Got another one...
I just started using protectorate/subjugation, and I'm a bit dissapointed how they work... my suggestions:
1) They should be treated as Allies NOT neutrals! Otherwise you can't win with the "Peace" victory condition.
2) You should be able to see what they see (but not vice versa) and use their resupply depots.
3) You should also get a portion of their research and intel!
4) While the race's anger with you should count under protectorate (whether they accept the treaty or not), it should not count under subjugation! Subjugation is similar to surrender, but less severe... it's a do this or else treaty! However, "offering" subjugation should increase the AI's Anger, and Protectorates should not require such a huge score over the race to be accepted (Maybe 200%-300%)
5) Finally, I do not know if a race can break a subjugation treaty, but if they can they shouldn't (unless they rebell or riot), and Protectorates shouldn't break the treaty as long as your score remains 2x theirs and they have not lost any planets to hostile (but they should break the treaty real quick if they lose a few worlds and you didn't/couldn't do anything to stop it (say deystroy at least 1/2 of the attacking fleets/ships)
