#Rome 2 client states free#

Now, rome had to invade them to integrate them, so they 'annexed' them like in game after a war. Unlike any subject state they had no guarantee that rome will protect them, like when the numidians raided in 151 BC.

Like client states they can't cancel the relationship without a war. Like tributaries, there was never a demand that carthage help in rome's wars, they have limited diplomacy and they pay money to their overlord, but cannot be integrated. In game terms they were somewhere between a tributary and a client state. After the second punic war, Carthage had no land outside Africa (What would become the roman province of the same name), They were forced to pay an indemnity to Rome, they also could not got to war without approval from the Roman senate and all border disputes were to be settled by the roman senate. If you however forcefully vassalize rome after diminishing it's size, then you have willfully kept the existing government intact and merely shackled it into your existing bureaucracy. It wouldn't be the same republic, for you must understand that in this time period, the ability to freely wage war is what defines the sovereignty of a country, lacking that you're just a province with internal autonomy. Once you've fully annexed rome, you have dismantled the government and either killed, enslaved, banished, or incorporated what's left of the roman political dynasties into your own state. It also makes sense that you can vassalize rome but not release it as a client state.

It makes sense that a free and independent country might reform the old republic, because people are always trying to reform old empires. Once that happens,The roman republic is dead, and whatever client state you create will not be the same. If you conquered all roman land, you shouldn't be able to release Rome as a vassal.
