Suggestion: Make all Vassals automatically trade with you as well.

I'm going to be short;

Seriously, dominating a faction, only to have them refuse trade? What was the point of marching my army through their neighborhood & threatening them all with swords-to-the-face if they wouldn't even allow my merchants to trade with them?


I mean, it should be the big faction that decides whether they should trade or not. Please!


(By the way, where is the 'Threaten' option in Rome II? I'd love to park 2-3 stacks outside an enemy province and demand stuff. What's the point of having a big army if you can't use it?)

I would like it if we could threaten and I would also like it if we could force our satrapies trade with us (with a risk of them breaking away and restarting a war)

Sadly you cant have all your client states trade with you because of the need for a road or port to reach your capital directly from their capital city. So factions such as Seleucid will not have trade income from over half of the clients they start with. Another thing about this game I don't understand at all. Trade should be able to move through allied or neutral territory unimpeded...
