I have a few subjects now that I am playing a sort of meme megacorp with a mod on. Just a visual/name thing. I thought it would be funny if Japan took over and sold body pillows, you can see where this is going.

Anyway, megacorp starts seem to always get a ton of vassals, I have 2 or 3 by the year 2255 in this playthrough, thing is, they asked to be vassalized and straight up disrespect me, straight up disloyal in most cases. I am thinking of releasing them and letting them fend for themselves as i don't really know or understand ANY of the mechanics regarding vassals.

What I would like to know is if me dropping them has any negative effect and if anyone could link me to a GOOD explanation of how vassals work and how to grow with them rather than accept them and them immediately hate me.

Also, when I do things like "Form non-agression pact" a button comes up that says increase and then says how many favors, what the heck is that and what's it mean?
