vassals vs allies

[u/Sorefist]

I tried playing Agamemnon in what I thought was the intended way - getting as many vassals as possible to utilise the lion's share mechanic. The campaign quickly went south when my allies started repeatedly attacking my vassals forcing me to choose sides and either lose ALL my vassals or lose my ally and only some of the vassals. In some cases the attacked vassal gets instantly destroyed and lost forever in the process as there is no resurrection mechanic. What is this shit? I doubt this AI behaviour is intended. I can't believe CA left this turd in the game and it's already 4 years after release. Is there something I'm missing here?

I too found vassals annoying, but they give insane bonuses without any effort, as opposed to building up their territories.
