Treaty question

[Aussie Gamer]

I have someone else tell that as well. It the person offering the treaty that become the dominate empire.

The other diference are in the manual. The biggest difference is that you get more resources in "sub".

Hmmm... It was a while ago, I might have been mistaken. Oh well, AIs wouldn't accept either treaty unless you are a lot bigger, and humans would have to be pretty dumb to accept

WHAT!
Will,
What is so dumb about accepting a protectorate or subjugation?
Is it better the player have his empire destroyed than be subjugated? that doesn't make sense.
Why not have a larger empire protect you - if you think they will hold up their end of the bargain.

BTW
Protectorate should NOT be considerd a lesser level of subjugation.

Are you sure about this? If you have a lower over-all score but much more military strength you cannot force someone into a treaty as the 'tribute' payer? Have you tried blockading some planets and issuing a DEMAND for a treaty of subjugation?The 'Propose treaty of subjugation' option might mean that you want to be subjugated because you are proposing the treaty. I've only used this treaty a few times, though.

How can you demand a teaty?? It's not listed under the options for demands. And if you just use a demanding tone it probably won't change much. I propose the treaty rarely, but just recently when I used it the AI refused. The next turn I demanded surrender and he accepted!

Use the Demand/Request Warn menu, and choose "Want a tribute". It's a bit odd to think of a treaty as "tribute" but treaties are available as demands under that option.

Baron thank you very much. I would never had this idea to ask a treaty as a tribute by myself! Very clever.
