Vassal blocks / occupies me

[Skallvik]

Hello,

in my game there is an AI unit on a gold mine.
I have connected this tile to my city without killing the unit.
Now I have reached vassal status with this faction and its units are now all green and friendly. Despite this the mine still says "occupied" and I don't get the bonus. How can I tell the AI to get off my mine without having to attack it?

Thanks and greetings
Skallvik

You send your hero to this resource node and get event where you can pay to remove vassal army. Usually you will have to pay little Imperium, through there are other options sometimes.

For example, this screenshot shows event where I sent hero to Haste Berries occupied by my dark culture vassal. According to event, free city hero was reanimating skeletons as workforce for her Free City. I could either pay some Draft from my Throne city or reanimate skeletons for her without spending resources as I was playing as Melenis and thus had Shadow Affinity. As Melenis's shadow affinity was high, I could raise skeletons with 100% chance and even got some happiness for my cities for free.

Ahhh thanks!
I thought my army would immediately attack as soon as I entered the field with his army. Thanks for the tip.

Just remember to send hero. If you send some random scout, you will just be told to return with hero.
