So how the heck are protectorates supposed to work?
I make some Indian nation a protectorate and then what? I get its trade power? am I auto called into its wars?
I had a game recently where I was scandinavia attacking Golden horde who was a protectorate of Kazan and Kazan did nothing. They weren't in the war at all. The protectorates don't seem to get called into your wars either.
Then what do I do with a nation once they are my protectorate? Wait for them to get higher tech and then vassalize them?
I just did some experimenting with portugal and india. I made one nation a protectorate and they caught up in tech and even surpassed my current tech level but were still in the Indian tech group. I could still only make them a protectorate. My tech was 8/8/8 and theirs was 8/8/9
Meanwhile a different nation became western tech group, so I declared war and was able to make them my vassal. Their tech level was like 5/5/6. Is there a way to make your protectorate westernize?
And if I annex provinces in india they get the overseas penatly for taxes. Then I have to core them at regular coring cost.
So, I just don't get the protectorate thing. Someone explain what its function is.
