How To Be a Good Suzerain

**drphil3** · 05-16-2010, 10:19 PM

I've seen lots of information on colonization, uprising, and bad suzerains, but if anyone has pointers on what it takes, or what players of age II would want in a good suzerain, I'd like to see them in this thread. Thanks.

I've never been colonized or a suzerain myself, so i don't have any input to work from.

If this isn't the right thread for this topic, i ask the powers that be to move it where it should be, thank you.

ok, so if i colonize someone, i can turn off anything that takes stuff from them, and leave as little troops, workers, etc. as necessary? I'm guessing the less intrusive the better.

like sending a volunteer family to live in the other guy's city, but not taking anything from them. Am i close?

What is the point of colonizing them then, drphil?

Ummmmm… if my colony is the silent type and doesn't talk to me, I go ahead and steal
what I want.
If they are ready to discuss what they need (they probably ported in beaten up) I usually waive levying troops in exchange for good behaviour, I.e., no farming the NPCs around that I do. Also helps if you tell them what they need to do to get free.
