So we explain the situation and amend the Terms Of Protectorate (which currently doesn't mention trade except with us) so they can't trade with external polities without our involvement. We do Not use underhanded deals or strong arm tactics to backdoor the issue.
What exactly is underhanded about making a honest and open temporal fix-up to the terms of protectorate in exchange for something they want? There is strongarming involved, but they are a protectorate, it is natural for us to have a stronger position. Actually, getting a veto power on any trade in terms of protectorate (thus, potentially permanent) means even more of strongarming than getting a temporary one as per my suggestion.
Probably, but I don't think it's a safe eject button.
And even then unless some one wants to volunteer to activate one mid teleport I don't think we'll be able to test the theory.
Not much we can do I fear.
Your suggestion is either bribing or threatening them to give us more power over what they do. It is offensive to them and also undermines our authority.
We kinda need to get on this. And I made a possible plan for his actions.
In favour.
Why would they need to resize it?
They also get the Royal basilisk, which basically means we doubled their artillery, which against orks is important.
To few Fanning in the beginning. There will come something up that will impete a plan that builds on "we have time later".
It's called "trade", not "bribing". My suggestion is trade a little more power for us for our help in doubling their owned territory.
Ok can you two just clue me into what exactly your disagreement is about?
Who knows.
Military Assistance isn't needed for the current campaign, we already killed the top Ork and broke the back of his domain. Get the fanning actions out of the way now and then do research.
I want to give them a new city when we expand that region. Vsh wants to prevent then trading with the Sirens. Both of us agree that doing both is generally a good idea.
I mean if we kill more Orks now, that's less From Beyond Orks, which is good.
I think Qah or at least a old one will make a appearance. We are on a planet that was created by the old ones. We have a lot of coincidences, DNA, anti chaos, the planet hates necrons, etc
The Old One defence stations...
Yeah, a second city is a huge bargaining chip: we can spend it on goodwill and then work hard for settling the potential trade issue, or we can spend it on a trade issue and then work hard for the goodwill. I think second is preferable because goodwill is not strictly needed and we generally can't afford to spend much actions to get something from Quatroks.
