Description
[3.4.2] AI empires do not take relative power into account when first negotiating peaceful subjugation, making it possible to vassalize any empire
Game Version
[3.4.2](7836)
What version do you use?
Steam
What expansions do you have installed?
Do you have mods enabled?
No
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
There's clearly supposed to be a relative power modifier that negatively affects agreement to be vassalized, as that modifier appears in any re-negotiation of terms. But it doesn't apply for initial vassalization. This means that all you have to do to vassalize ANY empire is to make a relatively lenient deal to counteract the -50 base acceptance. One player in my game started as Lost Colony and vassalized his designated advanced empire 10 years into the game. I easily vassalized all my neighbors as well.
If you try to re-negotiate the deal, they will have a massive negative acceptance even for the exact same unchanged deal.
Steps to reproduce the issue.
Propose peaceful subjugation with any regular empire. Simply make a non-oppressive deal and any empire will accept.
