When Tiglatpileser III (744-727 BC) began to annex the cordon of former vassal states and initiated their transformation into Assyrian provinces, it was as a reaction to the emergence of Urartu as a rival power which threatened the vassals' loyalty to Assyria and indeed led to the defection of many allies. the land between the Euphrates and the western flanks of the Zagros Mountains) was that of overlord and vassal. Until the mid-8th century BC, Assyria's preferred relationship with the regions outside of the territory traditionally claimed by the Assyrian crown (i.e. Bound to the Assyrian king by means of treaties and oaths, we call them Assyrian vassal states. While these states were nominally independent, they were often obliged to accept and follow whatever course of action was stipulated by Assyria, both in regard to internal affairs and foreign policy. Hereditary rulers (such as kings, city lords or sheikhs) led the local governments of most contemporary states, although other models of rule are attested as well, most prominently in the Babylonian cities which were controlled by various civic bodies representing the city's notables. The vassals of Assyria: a cordon of buffer states
Other regions were under the control of local governments, although Assyria made sure that its interests were also represented appropriately in these seemingly independent states. I'll concede it's not not as poorly implemented as events/global warming, but it still sucks a big one.By the second half of the 8th century BC, the Assyrian Empire controlled vast regions in the Middle East directly: these were the provinces that constituted the Assyrian state, administered by Assyrian governors whose position was not heritable but was awarded at the king's discretion.

Quickly took cities from the master using nukes/paratroops, his vassal broke freeģ. "we're doing fine on our own", despite being at war with someone 4x their power and losing 80% of their cities, once again ONLY because there were a couple small/weak civs out there.Ģ.

They function on a combination of power + relations the higher the power/better relations, the more likely someone will peacevassal.
The only features that even come close to being as bad as PAssals are events, lying GUI, and the Apostolic Palace. It's one of the most terrible features in the game it's a function to allow high level AIs to permanently ally and freebie tech swap even when permanent alliances aren't enabled.
