Realisitc use of auxiliaries

[Tiberius Nero]

If this army represents an army of an allied/client city state, yes, but then it wouldn't really be led by a Roman general I guess, and the Romans would be rather cautious or very proud to allow such an army to enter their territory unsupervised or fight their battles for them. And it is possible the leader of the allied force would simply not wish to take the risk to help Rome, if they were losing that badly.

The point: if you do raise such an army, it isn't essentially yours (in roleplaying terms), it is an allied one and can act as it chooses in any given situation.

Yeah, thought so. Now to find an appropriate set of house rules:

- the auxiliary army can only move within the borders of its home province;

- if you have to raise one, you also have to transform the local government into a level 4 government;

Anything else?

BTW, is there a cheat to make one of your armies rebel ?

Generals can rebel along with their armies if you play with the BI .exe, but I don't really think it works in EB, because there is no slot left for a counter-faction.

As for a cheat, I don't think so, never heard of one which does this.

Hmm, isn't it possible to give one of your armies to a different faction via console? Because that's what making your army rebel would basically entail.
And if the AI can bribe your armies, then I suppose it must be somehow possible.
