Becoming a protectorate is fantastic. You become immune to coalitions, will be defended by your overlord and get a 20% tech reduction.

You lose 50% of your trade power to them and can no longer do certain diplomatic actions, but you can still declare war and release vassals.

The moment you accept protectorate status, you will lose all your current vassals. Remember this well as the game does not tell you.
