Civ4 Warlords to implement Vassal states

Read about the thing in www.civfanatics.com site and it sounds very cool.

What do you think, could something like that work in GC2 too? I know DA will bring new stuff to diplomacy, but I think now is the right time to discuss these things, maybe SD can get some new ideas.

In my mind if a civilizations military is crushed totally, the civilization should plead for peace and become a vassal civilization for the stronger civ. Ofcourse it would be up to stronger side if he would like to oblitirate the enemy totally or accept the surrender.

I like that sometimes it can get very repetitive playing Gigantic/military conquest to invade and conquer every last world.

how would this be functionally different from surrendering? they will defend themselves and just send you money? will you have alliance obligations toward them? can they still start wars with other ai?

A vassal state sould provide military assistance, research help (I've heard that research colaboration treaty will probably integrated in DA but I'm not sure tought) and also pay a tribute. Anyway that'll be a very cool feature playing as a vassal trying to escape of greater empire or just saving time in your conquest victory.
