Normally, hate to cheat, but playing English H/H and the Danes with a full stack beat me to Antwerp by 1 turn. I had a full stack with a second stack of artillery (ballistas & catapults bringing up the rear) on a slow boat from London. Anyways, really wanted Antwerp, so I tried an idea, I added units to that rebel settlement and it worked!! I don't know if anybody else knows, but this was a revelation to me.
The Danes attacked and lost 1/2 their men and retreated, now I'm beseiging Antwerp and now have to look forward to killing off the 10 armored sergeants I added to that place along with the original garison.
This certainly opens up interesting game play, if you need a challenge, give your opponent some free units - although I haven't tried it with faction settlements yet.
A possiblility - if there's a faction (x) you don't like and they're at war with faction (y) give some troops to faction (y) and see where that goes. ~:idea:
