Do you use Client Rulers and recruitable Generals?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I'd like to know what roleplay excuses you employ to change your lvl 4 gov to something above. After all it is an allied state, where you don't have any rights officially. People might know that they have to obey Makedonia or your respective faction, but they still consider themselves independent.

For example, yesterday the client ruler of Mytilene died. What I generally do is to destroy the gov building, move the garrison out and set the taxes to very high. Normally that makes for a good riot, but unfortunately it didn't work so I voluntarily destroyed the Temple to Asklepios and the Askleipion of the city. that brought me my riot, and the subsequent turn I took a general and let him march into the city. Now I ordered a lvl 2 gov.

So I roleplayed that Makedonia, as the "good shepherd and protector of the people of Lesbos", took the initiative and marched into the city, to re-establish "the good order etc.". So how do you do it?

I use the govt buildings as depictions of how we treat non-hellenic people. Changing govt one level up then means increasing hellenization or something. It's not something I pay a lot of attention to, though, much like I don't do to other buildings. I usually build a L3 when the first client ruler is dead, and a L2/1 when I need it (as in no more construction options or need a different barracks). Sometimes I install a second client ruler.

ok so now I have a plan... erase client ruler script section , and everytime I conquer a new settlement I'll cheat to build level 5 barracks , recruit a general , destroy the barracks and then remove any extra mnai I might have gained

so I'll be able to roleplay while keeping the AI to recruit them

on the flip side.
i just started a new romani campaign using konny's houserules, and i must say that it makes more sense. the provinces develop much easier and you economy doesn't take such a nasty hit.

you mean making equites consulares recruitable?

Quintus I've a question you surely have a lot of experience in this matter

say I've a general called Cnaevs Fabivs Ambvstvs , what would be his name? "CnaevsA Romanvs" or Cnaevs Fabivsambvstvs" ?

EDIT: nevermind it was:
