It had to be very bad for people having to pay another tribute to another nation. That is why we had all those areas battling each other until forming empires.

Conquered people under Assyrian rule likely felt a mix of resentment and oppression about paying tribute. Many would view these payments as a symbol of their subjugation, serving to reinforce the Assyrian power structure and their own lack of autonomy. Additionally, the burden of tribute could strain local economies, leading to further dissatisfaction and potential unrest. Overall, these feelings would contribute to a sense of injustice and hostility towards Assyrian dominance.
I believe the money called to pay to the conquering nation is called a tribute.
The Assyrians never conquered Kush though they claimed they did. They conquered Egypt which was being ruled by Kush at the time but they did not conquer Kush and there is no evidence that reached as far south as Meroe The Romans only claimed to have got as far as Napata when they fought with Kush centuries later The only civilization that might have reached as far south into Kush as Meroe was the Persians
Their life was not that simple. The Assyrians were feared for their military might and their cruelty. They mostly fought and created new weapons and war strategies.
It is bad because, people could have a chance they would die, lose all their land, special things, you wouldn't be making the gods happy and your empire/civilization would not stay alive, and everything might be chaotic.
The quote "Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we're paying the highest tribute you can pay a man. We trust him to do right. It's that simple." is found on page 278 of "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
The Assyrians used iron to make shields, iron-tipped arrows, helmets, armour, etc. All of these helped them because it was new technology that no one else had which gave them an advantage.
