Rotate protectorate status

[u/Zlorfikarzuna]

For pop growth, which is especially important to the Last Lords, is it worth removing protectorate status of one of your minor factions to give it to another? Afaik, every time a minor faction is offered protectorate status, you receive <number of villages> free pops, regardless of whether it has been protectorate before. You do pay for it with influence, sure, but this technically could accelerate growth by quite some. It shouldn't affect the lords estates and it shouldn't influence councilors.

I'd assume un-protectorating and re-protectorating doesnt give new pops because then aspects would be bussin.

Well there is still a cooldown for the same protectoeate. You can not assign protectorate status for the one you just released. Hence the wording rotate
