That's it for this Stellaris guide on how to make and use Vassals! If there's anything more you want to know, let me know in the comments below and I'll get back to you! For more on this galactic domination sim, check out our other Stellaris guides for tips and tricks that are out of this world. You may want to pause the game after liberating a species, as they may choose to ally with someone else before you get a chance to induct them into your ranks. The liberated population will create a new empire with ethics similar to that of your own government, and they will have a high opinion of you because you liberated them.Īfter doing this, use the "Demand Vassalization" option we discussed in method 2 of this guide. When at war, instead of simply conquering planets, you can choose to liberate them. This button may be bugged however, as many players have reported it to be missing. There should be a "Create Vassal" button in the bottom left corner. Select a planet within a Sector you control and navigate to the "Governor" screen. The stronger your Empire, the more likely other Empires are to accept peaceful Vassalization. Having a strong Empire can be achieved by having a large fleet and extensive territory. Some ethical alignments, such as fanatical xenophobes, will completely prevent any form of peaceful Vassalization. Having similar ethics provides boosts all around, but cannot be influenced or manipulated. If it's a cross, however, hover over it to see the details of why they won't accept. If there's a lot of factors in the red, then you'll have to work on those specific areas until they're green and the target is more aligned with your Empire. The most important factors are ethics, the strength of your Empire, and their opinion of you. If it's a tick, you're good to go - hit the button and they'll agree to be your Vassal. Next to the "Demand Vassalization" button will either be a green tick or a red cross. Open up the "Empires" tab, select the Empire you want to Vassalize, and click on the "Communicate" button. To do this method, whoever you're trying to make your Vassal must be at peace. Once you've caused enough damage to this Empire, they will eventually contact you with details of surrender, in which case you can accept and they will become your Vassals. Drag the Vassalize option over from the available demands on the left to the selected demands on the right, and then hit Confirm. You can get more Warscore by raiding planets and destroying fleets belonging to this Empire. Here you can choose from a list of demands, each requiring a certain Warscore Cost to achieve. Select "Declare War" on the right side of the menu, which will bring up the "War Demands" screen. If I missed anything, make sure to call me out in the comments! Method 1: War There are a few ways of acquiring Vassals, which are listed below. Be wary of disloyal Vassals, as they may join an opposing Empire or attack you when on opportune moment arises (such as during catastrophic event or an invasion). Depending on your relationship with them, Vassals will either be loyal or disloyal to your Empire. Vassals also cannot colonize new worlds outside of their border range, and have no autonomy in relation to foreign policy or diplomatic relations. The subservient Vassals can be used to bolster your military ranks, as they will automatically join your wars - this applies regardless of whether you're attacking or defending, which can be very helpful when a larger Empire attempts to overwhelm you or you need few extra ships to take out an annoying fleet. Vassals are one of the types of Subject Empires that can serve you, and they're the Subjects that you can exert the most control over. What Are Vassals and What Are They Used For in Stellaris? Whether you want to conquer a species' homeworld and force them into servitude or liberate a species from the tyranny of another empire, there's a method for every play style when it comes to creating Vassals. While there are few different types of allies available in Stellaris, but this guide will focus on Vassals.
