Nice! Remember to keep votes equal and not by diplomatic weight. The issue is when I declared an expel branch war against them it didn't work. Granted I play with mods like Stellaris Evolved and Gigastructures so there's tech at play that is extremely. Its not a bug. Subsidiaries only pay energy, while tributaries pay both energy and minerals. It depends on how loyal they are. I am playing a tall game as an extreme pacifist empire. I recently got into this game, and in my current game I’m playing as a very militaristic empire. They will do the setup for a liberation war for you, and all you have to do is help out. As ever, your civilization can rise from a post-apocalyptic past, departing to the stars. Stellaris. This will make food-intensive economies like cloning vats supportable via tribute. Inward Perfection -> Crisis empires, for example, need the Imposed Inclusion CB to vassalize as under normal circumstances they can only demand tribute, and if refused they can't go to war to force tribute. I'd only use liberation if you plan as retaining them as a vassal, although do note that empires will.
