Bugged Vassal?

[Greenstone11]

I was playing France on Hard/Very Hard in the Early Campaign, and after a few turns I was beating Anjou pretty well when they came to me asking for ceasefire. I instead offered that they become my vassal and they agreed. They have only 2 provinces but now each turn I get between 6,000-10,000 in tributes (this could only be coming from my vassal). I guess they are getting a money script which is getting bounced to me as their overlord... Should we not use the vassal function in SV, or is this the intended outcome?
Also: the France - Long - Early Campaign lists the city of Bruges as an objective twice. Dunno if that makes a difference but thought I'd point it out.

ps - the game is running smoother now and i am getting the hang of the armies afield script, loving it

Yes, that is due to the money script. The script only kicks in when an AI faction has less 3 settlements, so would suggest using the extra money to get them another region, and build up a buffer state for yourself at the same time.

Perhaps this should be a house rule.

Province gifted, Disaster averted. Score 1 for the SV team

I guess that explanes my experiance with the Armenians, too. After reducing them to Sis (as Byzantium) they builded large numbers of really sharp units... thought possesing just one city and cut off trade routes!
Maybe I should have made them a vassal insteed of finishing them off...
