Whats up with Vassals and ottoman Eyalets?

[Marge Simpson]

I think colonies are way too strong while ottoman eyalets give you as far as i can tell, nothing?
Its 1650 and 50k stack spanish colonials will land in africa but my Egyptian vassal will only ever have 2k? they cant even suppress their rebels

Eyalets suffer a manpower and forcelimit penalty, but it's not large. Your Egyptian eyalet should have more than a 2k forcelimit unless they're tiny.

And they offer many benefits. They don't take relations slots, they pass along a lot of income and force limit to the Ottomans, and so on. Once you convert them to core eyalets, you can annex them cheaper than ordinary vassals.

If you're not playing Ironman, tag switch to them and check out their finances, manpower, buildings, what they're constructing, and so on.

Either way, you should have integrated them long ago. Trade from Alexandria can be sent to Constantinople, as can that from many rich regions to the east. Directly controlling such land is the key to power in EU4. Let trade guide your expansion.
