Does bribing a faction's army count as an act of war?

I almost never fight rebels, I just buy them off. But I wonder if I can do this with troops owned by actual factions and not enter into a war.

*edit*

This is MTW I'm talking about.

If you think about it, other factions troops are usually on their own land. Bribe that army and if it works you will have YOUR army on SOMEONE ELSE'S land - most definitely an act of war ~:)

If it is the other way around and you bribe another factions army on your land then for them to be thee in the first place, you must have been at war already for the army to have been in your territory ~:cool:

I see. Thanks.

Maybe bribing a wicked nice stack is worth going to war, especially if you can just propose a truce next round.

I believe that I have once bribed a factions army that was invading a rebel province. I got the stack and the province, and the best thing I wasn't at war with them.

Or was iI??

Anyway, it's worth a test, I'll let you know...
