Civilization IV: Warlords Review

Keeping things rollin', WorthPlaying has thrown together a review on Firaxis Games' Civilization IV expansion pack, Warlords. With a final score of 8.6/10, this one sounds like a solid pick-up. Anyways, here's a bit on how the Vassal states work:

Warlords also introduces the idea of turning a state into a vassal state. Vassal states get bit from the exchange and lose some happiness, but if you're the master state, you get a lot of very nice benefits, including being able to demand resources from your vassal, and automatically having them be on your side in war. The master does, however, pay more maintenance for his cities to control a vassal state. This option probably changes the game more than any other, introducing a significant advantage to not destroying that enemy civilization.
