@lemonporn yes I have VN, I didn't realize it changed the ranks...

@DarkLegion: There is no console command or anything for that, since they aren't actual subjects.

At the beginning of the game I want to start some countries as tribute to some countries. What is the code for this? like vassal code

GREAT

@giobrach: Do you have any mods that change government ranks perhaps? That reason pops up if they are at least rank 3, which in vanilla is Empire.

I cannot require tributes from any of my neighbors because it tells me "They are an Empire: -100" even though they're not, am I doing something wrong?

yep it works now thanks very much.

@cody712: Hm, weird. I changed something in the effect now. Does it work with the new version?
cody Dec 24, 2020 @ 10:23am 
The Monarch points seem to work but I dont get any money payment. Maybe a mod conflict or because I installed it mid game. Is it working for you?

@cody712: It should be instant. And it's not listed in the balance, it's just added to your treasury directly.
