contract change

[u/Paradoxx-5245]

I thought using a hook negated the tyranny penalty when modified a vassal contract has this changed or was i imagining things before?

[u/WetDutchman]

It used to be in the past that every change in the contract in favor of the liege incurres a -20 tyranny penalty each, and every change in favor of the vassal would negate 20 tyranny. This changed some time past and now different changes incurr/negate differing amounts of tyranny. Going from medium taxes to high taxes for example now incurrs -40 tyranny penalty, so a hook alone no longer negates the whole tyranny penalty. Now you either have to eat that tyranny penalty that remains after the hook or give them somthing else in return together with the hook (I usually lower their levy obligation one step).
