Can we pls Vassalize even if someone is in a war?

[Flame13223]

Right now if there's one thing that is grinding my gears more than anything its that I cannot demand tribute from factions that are already in a war thus not being able to declare war. Is the technology just not there yet or what?!


I get that its difficult if other are in a war already with claims and stuff but come on don't tell me there's just no way to do it, because that's just pure BS. The AI takes 50 years sometimes to just make peace with each other and me not being able to move forward for that long is just plain stupid, I remember before Megacorp came out I made one last game that I wanted to finish on the hardest difficulty setting that I could come up, and what delayed my victory more than anything was that I had to wipe out civilizations with total war to make the other faction not be in a war thus letting me subjugate them. I literally had to planet crack 20+ planets so as to not have to wait 50 years until the AI ended their war with each other.

just conquer them instead

That costs influence and admin cap...if there was an option to destroy starbases instead of conquer them it would be great.

And vassalizing in defensive war please

You can by going to the outpost and deleting it. That just leaves it open to your enemy recolonising it, though.

i'm fine with expanding for no influence cost being more restricted

as for the admin cap, i think you can still make vassals out of sectors

No you cannot you can only give it back. You can't destroy it until you already claimed and conquered it.

Yeah, this is really frustrating. Especially because the AI tend to get into near constant wars, that then stalemate out and you have to wait for them to time out to a status quo.
You can sit there for decades waiting to be able to launch your own war.

Yeah maybe if the AI were not waiting for the literal end to get a status quo this wouldn't be so frustrating. The AI needs to learn how to make peace with each other, they get into stalemates non-stop and honestly they don't really do anything. Like, they don't actually fight they're just in a war for no friggin reason.
