Cede Province.

Cede Territory exists only for special cases where you can't/don't want to annex the entire province.

Even with civilized nations you rarely want subjects (except maybe Feudatories), and the subjects that tribals have access too are even worse.

If you won, you don't give away what's yours so don't cede any territory. You can do it but in normal circumstances it would mean that you're weak and you haven't really won, only lost... Or that you're very generous.

It depends, but I've taken a liking to making Tribal nations - especially those of wrong faith/culture - tributaries. It gives the same amount of AE, but you won't get more unhappy land, they still contribute towards missions, and still get the event that upgrades them to integrateable clients. So usually, if I clash with a tribal confederation, I will claim the land I was originally after, but make a tributary of anyone else involved in that war.

Edit: Oh yeah, and tributaries don't count towards the diplo relations cap. That's a rather important aspect of this strategy.

Edit 2: Cede Territory is something I only use if I don't want the full province for reasons of border beautification. Tayk is a good example of this, where as, say, the Bosporan Kingdom I might only want the three coastal territories and not the mess of mountainous hinterland.

Tayk is just an unfortunate side effect of the province changes in 2.0; It used to be far more cleaner of borders in that area. Tayk has brought me nothing but disgust since 2.0 when playing as Pontus. I like to have entire provinces, but occasionally those provinces don't make neat borders and that irks me.

It's the only province where I consistently use "Cede Territory". You might even say the button was made specifically for coastal Tayk.
