I’m aware. It just happens very regularly that you can count on it happening de rigeur.
Then it's not new.

The tributaries of the Khanate become vassals of the Ottomans.
This happened because Crimea had made Theodoro a tributary at some point earlier in the game.
no when i forcefully vassalized crimea in 1.23 i got theodoro and circassia as vassals and gazikumukh as a tributary state.
Then it's not new.
Another thing, the whole march/not march is about a pretender civil war, right? So then why, if Ottomans support legitimate government, and pretenders win, do they stay a subject?
It is new because it's a new interaction that tributaries becomes vassals when an overlord is vassalized.
It's been happening at least since before Mandate of Heaven.
As a tributary? I thought this was a recent change.

Another reason why this event sucks:
After the Ottos annex Crimea, it seems like every country that goes to war with them focuses on the fort in Crimea because they keep trying to evade Ottoman armies. So they just sit there trying to siege a worthless unblockaded fort while their capital gets taken.
Watch a game where this event fires. Here are the Mamluks running all the way thorugh my territory trying to evade the Ottomans while their country gets seiged:

In just this run alone I've seen this happen four times.
Well, as Muscovy, I just annexed the Great Horde, and I got their tributary Circassia as a tributary.
this is general AI problem and has nothing to do with crimea event.
Where do people want to nerf the Aq Qoyunlu?without wanting pdx to nerf ottomans, aq
I've not seen the Crimean AI accept this event in quite a while. Usually the Ottomans have to force them into submission, and I'm OK with that. It's no different than getting free claims or a vassalization CB from a mission(EX: England>Scotland).
This is after all land that The Ottomans held at some point. Ideally the AI would be programmed to let them keep march status.
