1: A protectorate gives half their tax income to you and gives you full military access. They cannot form any further alliances with any other nations, but as they're giving most of their taxes to you, you often need to militarily prop them up.

2: You can't recruit agents directly. You build the appropriate buildings (turkish baths for assassins, etc) and they will spawn eventually.

3: You cant. Yes, Empire Total War can be a little silly.

4: Try using one of the mods. See filenetworks.blogspot.com/2009/03/empire-total-war-all-factions-unlocker.html

5: See 4.

6: The King only exists in the government screen. You can't really kill him off if he's crap (except by revolutions). Same with ministers, but you can at least fire them.

7: Trade ships, as I understand them, are to be placed in places such as the Indies, Brazil and the Coast of Africa. Place them on the anchor shaped spots to earn monies.
