Force satellites to conscript

[Grubnessul]

Something Napoleon did often and made him slightly unpopular: force his satellites to provide a certain number of troops. As it stands now, your satellites have to much freedom in this and it takes ages (even when sending war subsidies) for them to build up a decent army. So I would suggest this option (coming at a big relations penalty) to force them to take loans to build an army worthy enough of Mordor/France.

Vive l'Empereur!

you can force them to give you expeditionary forces already
this should be enough

I usually find after the war to force them to be my satellite they're usually way too fucked up to field anything of use for a frustratingly long period of time. I find myself retreating from their armies when invading as to not wipe them -.-

Good or bad relations with your satellite is meaningless. They always choose your side in every war.
And even with poor relation satellite will become independent, or even declare war to their master it is good to player, becouse can annex their resources.

And money in MotE in not real problem, real problem is manpower. How many armies they can build, when they have less than 10k(Saxony, and Bavaria, other minors have less) manpower income per year?

They need to build armies before you can force them to give them to you as expeditionary forces...

any state capable of doing so, does build units. So there's no point

Lol maybe you can mod it so they also give you 30% of their Manpower. You get their men, but you need to train them (not ideal, I know)

or how about "your emperor intends to take on britain, that means i want 100 ships from all you vassals combined. Landlocked states instead provide landforces to protect the non-landlocked vassals."

I was more thinking along the lines of giving overlords a decision to force conscription, which increases their MP income (which is quite low) but at the an increased RR or some other local resistance like increased attrition (deserters turning highwaymen, farmers upset because you drag their sons away etc.)

GEt to the bottom of diplomacy list, for once, then.

You can request exp. forces from anyone, satelites do not get to say no.
