Ways to mitigate expansion into tribal lands

[Slime99]

A thread to give ideas to mitigate settled realms expanding into tribal territory. Purely spit balling to see what sticks.

Here's my ideas.

• Tribal holdings held by the wrong government type get taken by a tribal ruler of the local culture and faith upon succession.
  • The tribals remain vassals in feudal and clan realms
  • The tribals gain independence from administrative realms
  • In nomadic cultures in the steppe, this spawns herders
• Increased CB cost on tribal realms, if the CB results in taking tribal land
• Populist uprisings get extra MAA in tribal lands
• When a CB would normally subjugate a tribal realm, it turns it into a tributary instead.
  • Would require a more permanent tributary
• Continuing from the one above, non-de jure tribal vassals could become permanent tributaries instead upon succession
  • This would mitigate expanding through tribal lands into more tribal lands
• In the vain of the conquer peripheral duchy CB, a CB to liberate tribal lands of your culture would be nice for neighboring tribal realms

Feel free to give your own ideas or share experiences with settled realms expanding into tribal territory. It feels like this happens pretty much every game with no breaks.

Confederations should be a big help for tribals when we get them I just hope they also fix tribal conversion in the new patch

I like this idea, personally the harder it gets - the more fun the game is.

The tribals gain independence from administrative realms

This also make a lot of sense, tribal rulers should be more "wild" (aggressive) and hard to manage in such an environment like admin government.
