Just playing King Aelle in the winterking-mod. Managed to force the other two anglo-saxon kingdoms into submission.
And I wonder if that was a clever idea.
They now pay tribute to me (small amounts) and they hate me. That's ok.
They help a bit to claim the Bretwaldaship. That's ok, but Bretwalda doesn't mean much anyway.
They call me into their wars. That's can be very annoying and risky and I don't profit even if they win.
But they don't come when I need support in a war, there is not even an option to call them as a suzerain-tributary relationship doesn't mean an alliance.
So I really wonder what the advantages of being a suzerain are?
I am tempted to release them from paying tribute and then attack and conquer their lands.
Any ideas?
