The tribute system is ridiculous. I am absolutely destroying my enemy in war; I have taken almost all of their castles and cities, but have not done any village raiding. On top of this, I have the faction leader (King) as a prisoner. By all accounts, I should be able to sue for peace and charge them a boatload of tribute as I am WINNING the war tremendously. However, the stupid game logic wants ME to pay tribute to them in order to end the war because they have raided more of my villages. This makes absolutely no sense. Even if this was the developer goal, that needs to be changed immediately. It doesn’t make any logical sense that I have almost all of their castles and cities, but because they have raided more of my villages they are somehow “winning” the war. What an embarrassing game mechanic, and quite frankly one that decrease the value of the game tremendously. This needs to be fixed. If I have 5 cities captured, and they have 0 cities captured and 5 villages raided, I should be winning the war full stop. Fix this massive game breaking mechanic immediately. I have seen so many Reddit and steam posts about people being extremely upset because of this terrible game mechanic. It needs to be changed to reflect the actual winner of the war.
