Forced Vassalization
I can't figure out how "Forced Vassalization" differs from "Subjugate" except that the Prestige cost is higher??? What did I miss?

Edit: Isn't subjugation once in a lifetime? I don't think anyone mentioned that.

These have completely different requirements, conditions and outcomes.
Without looking anything up I think forced vassalization can only be used against people with titles lower than yours. Subjugate can be used against anyone and you take away all their titles that prevent them from being your vassal.

Edit: After looking things up I think forced vassalization also has several issues with the target has to be independent. Also needs to own less than a certain amount of counties to be used. Overall, subjugate is simply much better than forced vassalization.

So "Forced Vassalization" is nearly worthless. Got it.

I like it when I don't have access to subjugate, which is most of the time.

That's rich.

Like Aurian said, most of the time you don't -have- access to the Subjugate casus belli. Forced Vassalization is an amazing tool for quickly expanding your realm's territory without the need for a proper Casus Belli, which means it's incredibly useful for basically all Feudal rulers.

My realm went from 280 counties to 400 in one generation thanks to that thing, as a feudal cathar. It's insane.
