I started near a very powerful early game empire and decided to become a protectorate of this empire.
After a while of research I transitioned to the point of being a vassal.
I grew more powerful than the host empire and wanted to try a war of independence but could not because (according to threads) they were at war. [this is incredibly stupid by the way of course an unwillingly subject will attempt to break away while the host is at war]
so i decided to wait the war out and not assist the host empire then beat them up once they lost.
However when they lost the enemy empires took some of their[the host] planets and the host took all of my planets! hence MAJOR BUG also EXTREMELY IRRITATING.
