Limited Vassals

Description
Description
Are you sick of the AI vassalizing the entire galaxy?

This mod limits the amount of vassals one can own to 2, and is made to work in conjunction with my other mod:
Burning Galaxy

I might increase the amount of vassals to 3, but I thought 2 is a good number since that is what you start with in the hegemony origin.

I might create another mod that lowers it to 0 because I think it'd be funny to have a galaxy where nobody is friends with anybody. A true Warhammer 40,000 experience.

Known Problems

1 - If an AI declares a subjugation war on another AI with vassals, it's possible for that AI to have a total of 4 vassals. This was something I knew might happen, but after playing a lot, is very rare.

2 - Secret Fealty makes it possible to get 3 vassals. An AI needs to have a vassal, have two vassals of the same opposing empire pledge fealty to them, declare a fealty war, and win. However this should be so extremely rare that I think allowing it to happen can make the game more interesting and unique. If I get enough complaints I'll look into fixing it, but for now this will remain.

3 - After a lot of headaches, I discovered that running We Require Borders with this mod causes it to not work.

4 - Empires can ask to be subjects of empires with 2 or more subjects. This is more common than I'd like, so you'll see an empire with 3 or 4 subjects every now and then, but this usually happens once a game.

FUTURE PLANS
I would love help in figuring how to allow the player to set the number of vassals allowed in the game at the game start so they didn't have to select a different mod each time they want to change the max vassals.

Special Thanks
Special thanks to Wizard for helping me with the coding of this mod.

Alternate Mod
I have created an alternate mod that completely removes vassalization from the game:
No Vassals

Expect it to have the same bugs though.

I am in the Stellaris Modding Den Discord
I don't have my own channel, but I hop on there every now and then, so if you run into a bug you can ping me and my DMs are always open.

Good news and bad news.

The good news:
You cannot ask someone if you have 2 or more empires to be your vassal, this wasnt broken in cosmic storms or grand archive.

Bad news:
You can request to be a vassal of someone who was 2 or more empires as vassals already. I didnt know this was happening because I only checked if you can ask someone to be your vassal.

I'll try to fix this, if you dont see an update by thanksgiving it didnt happen.

Please update. :cleandino:

I think it did break it only because I just played a match where they vassaled the whole universe so I think it's busted :'(

@goodytwoshoes I've tried to figure this out, but with a family and job... I haven't had time to check or even update this as of yet. I hope the galactic storms didn't break this.

Is it possible to completely remove vassals? I love this mod regardless however, thank you so much!

A bit of an update:
An empire can have more than 2 vassals if an empire asks to be a vassal even if the empire has 2 vassals.

Trying to figure out how to stop this, but this is incredibly rare regardless.

Good to see this updated.

@ZeddZul
I was actually about to let this mod die because I felt like it's lost it's popularity and nobody cared... and I switched computers, so updating it to the public would suck.

That being said. . .

It's 10pm at night and I have just updated this mod.

@Afire_Inquisitor the trade bug has been fixed.

If you have any other problems, if you want, you canadd me to friends and send me a message.

Have a good one!

This has been my favorite mod, but it doesn't work anymore :( Anyone know of a replacement?

Playing with this in 3.12, have confirmed it is causing the "Offer Trade Deal" option in the Diplomacy Screen to not show up. Was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this?
