Does the tariff function work?

IIRC it's called Subjugate and Protectorate. Also, IIRC Subjugate gives you 20% of the empire's production and Protectorate gives you 40% - or vice versa - I'm not sure, but someone will be sure to correct me if I'm wrong; they're quite knowledgeable here....

sounds right to me. im not sure what happens if you are paying out to them, maybe a negative shows up there?

I understand those treaties where i subjugate or become the protector of someone but is there any way to place a tariff on someone Something like trading restrictions or something.

Those two treaties are the only way.

It's vice versa (I just remember subjugate is like the bully stealing your lunch money, and protectorate is like the bully taking part of your lunch money as payment for your protection

Both are also supposed to be like a one-sided partnership. You can see what they see, use their supply depots and space ports, but they can't see what you see or use your infrastructure. You're also supposed to get all their designs. As far as I know, none of that works

i have not placed anyone under one of those treaties since Version 1.19, but subjugation worked then. i dont know about that supply depo and space port business, it certainly does not say anything about that in the treaty description. nor does it mention you seeing what they see, in fact, you dont even get to see enemy designs thru them. but it DOES stop them from making other treaties, and it DOES give you all their tech and vehicle designs.

Protectorates dont do anything special above the 20% of resources, and from what i remember, that worked too. at one time there was a bug with resource production when you had someone oweing you a teriff, but i recall seeing that in the fixed list a few patches back.
