How do the submission Focuses of Lothlorien work?
So after the "A Taste of Empire" focus a lot of focuses follow that ask other nations if the want to be your puppet. How can you influence the decision to be in your favor? Or just how does it work/ how do make them agree?

There's a lot of factors that go into the AI making it's choice on if to accept or not.
The biggest factor is how much bigger your industry and armies are vs. theirs.
They also look at if you/they are in a faction, as well as ideology.

The elves are also likelier to accept your 'protection' if they are at war with someone

The thresholds that have an effect are a "strength ratio" of 1 and 0.5.
The "strength ratio" is based on your fielded divisions and gets a bonus from air-forces.

So essentially, the things that have an influence:
- Have significantly more divisions than them
- Make sure you're in a faction and they are not
- If they are cooperative, that will make it less likely that they'd accept
- For the elves, they should ideally be in a war.
