Hello everyone! After many people have been requesting it, puppet nations are finally in the game! Here's how they work...
Puppet states can form naturally through wars if the defender is in a bad spot after the war. Puppet states will be forced to donate gold to their overlord every few years. You can see when an overlord will require donations in the overlord's Nation Panel. Puppets cannot join alliances, but they can start their own wars. Every time a donation is made, the green Integration bar also gets filled a little. When this reaches full, the overlord can demand territory from their subject. The subject might agree to it, but depending on the situation, power balance and especially if they are about to lose their last territory, they might revolt in an attempt to declare independence. If the war is successful, they will be released.
In normal view puppets will show with a border similar in color to their overlord, and in a purple shade in Diplomatic view. Some things in puppets might change in the future depending on player feedback, but go out there and test them out! Currently puppets cannot be created in scenario editor, but that will come later along with other improvements to the scenario editor. Also, as this is a whole new mechanic, there might be some bugs I haven't noticed. Let me know if you encounter some. In other news, the USA map and scenario have also been remade, now featuring proper terrain and additional cities!
