I think it would be more realistic if a satrap can recruit some levy troops (only levy quality) since they would be cheap enough to be paid for out of his own pocket, but he should only be able to do this once after every civil war battle (this could be revised of course) and only a limited number of regiments as well, like say 2 levy regiments of his choice. this would also balance the advantage given to the government against the attacker. You also said thatI think in the case of civil war, if that army has thrown their lot in with the Satrap, they wouldn't give a damn if the King sent some messenger to tell them to disengage or w/e. Therefore a rule stating the Basileus cannot move armies of the renegade Satrap, ONLY in the case of civil war.What Satrap C must remember that a general must be in command of those reinforcements since Basileus can move every Captain led stack that is outside of Satrapy.
Allowing the Basileus to move those armies is like when Caesar left for Greece, the senate ordered his other half of his army to go back north of the Rubicon or something. it just doesnt make sense.
Also since there is probably a divide in retraining on the players who are interested, (this does not necessarily pertain to civil wars) should armies be allowed to retrain to full strength?
