Tribute System doesn't make sense.

[FruityMan]

A very weak Battania (0 Fiefs, very low strength rating) declared war on me. I was more powerful to begin with, and it hasn't even been close, however, I can't declare peace because somehow I'd still owe them 2400 denars. Makes no sense. I should've been eligible to receive denars from them immediately considering how weak they are. Needs a real overhaul.

I questioned this back in 2020. Answer was, working as intended. They have no plans to change it.

Just because you're stronger doesn't mean your opponent doesn't want to fight you.

Look upon it not so much as tribute, but as foreign aid.

You give them aid; they leave you alone.

I assumed Tribute was, whoever ASKS for peace is the one that pays

They call it the "♥♥♥♥♥ out fee"

The tribute system follows a simple pattern

The more of an enemy's settlements you hold, the higher the tribute they will demand.
The more casualties you inflict on them and prisoners you take the more the tribute demand will sink.
The more wars a kingdom faces the more tribute they'll have to pay for peace.
Time, village raids and power also affects tribute.

you should recruit all the clans, when they have no fiefs.
a single "king-clan" in war with you cant dmg your kingdom. you can ignore them.

but its very boring to recruit over 50+ clans.
at the moment you are king, the game change more and more to a walking simulator. you hunt clan-leader like pokemons, but its much less fun.

Literally nothing about any of this game's mechanics make sense. It's all just 100 different band-aid solutions that they've never gone back and finished properly.

This is a really good battle simulator and a really bad everything else.

I totally agree. The game is frustrating and very inconsistent, stupid and not well made. But the fights are awesome. It's a constant up and down with "oh my god, WHY???" and "oh my god, that's beautiful." This game could have been a masterpiece. But instead they made a golden pile of ♥♥♥♥.

Woah there, come on... That's pretty extreme...

It's at best a pretty good battle simulator

Don't have to pay tribute if you just execute them all

[Blind]

part of tributes is reparations
