Subject/Diplomacy Balance v1.8 [Archive]

This mod applies numerous adjustments and balance changes, as well as some bug fixes, to the vassal and diplomacy systems.

- Influence costs of modifying vassal contracts vastly reduced.
- Relative power for deal acceptance weighting limit significantly increased.
- AIs will be much more willing to negotiate trade deals, even if relation penalties make it more difficult (it won't be a permanent outright "NO" in all cases anymore).
- Several related balancing changes.
- Trade League trade policy values revised back to match both individual specializations in consumer goods and unity, to undo the nerf done in Stellaris v3.5.2 official.
- Removed additional warscore penalty for unoccupied claims with an upgraded starbase (and no planets).
- Reduced the penalty to federation cohesion per empire joining or leaving, so you aren't always guaranteed to lose level 5 every time.
- Relaxed the cap for maximum subjects integrating simultaneously from 1 to 3, if you can afford it.
- Added vassal agreement options to take a percentage of your vassals' naval capacity, similar to resource contributions.
- Wartime occupation values modified to weight higher value targets more, based on pops and upgraded starbases.
- Tweaked some values for minimum and maximum subject resource taxes and subsidies, for different vassal types.
- Fixed bug where "assert overlordship" wargoal for revolt events was not working properly.
- Assert overlordship wargoal will result in retaining your vassal mostly as-is (ignoring other claims made) for independence wars. For rebellions, the rebel nation will be destroyed and original owner retains ownership.
- Fixed being able to use "Bring Into The Fold" wargoal against your own overlord, which would have no effect. (must use Independence first)
