A small but possible big change: Make protectorate rule change

[Denkt]

Instead of having the current rule that low tech groups become protectorate to high tech groups which countries that can become protectorate should no longer depend on tech group at all.

Instead if a country have its capital on another continent and you have no land connection between your captial and the target's capital (Generally if both countries border eachother they will have a land connection) that country will become a protectorate, otherwise the country will become a vassal. If you get a land connection to a procatorate you can change it into a vassal if you wan't but you can't change a vassal into a protectorate.

I think this will work well with the change that The Cossacks will bring that protectorates act like a local allies.

Declare Colonial War (Expansion Feature)
Ever wished that Protectores were a little more useful in expanding your overseas Empire? Ever wanted to employ the British strategy in India? The Declare Colonial War feature lets you do just that. When declaring war against an overseas target, those with the expansion will have the option to consider it a colonial war instead of a regular war. Declaring a colonial war prevents you from calling in any of your regular allies, but will let you call in your Protectorates. Other subjects will also be called in as normal.
