I've nothing against the first two... or the last two, but knowingly breaking the rules? what about for IC purposes?

example, a satrap wants to form a breakaway republic in India... elephants should be a crucial part of his stratergy, but, according to the rules only FL/FH can have 'phants in their armies... does the player get an IC punishment, say, a win or die PvP battle to fight and from then no part in council sessions if the (now) 2 states dont feel like fighting, or will the poor player be banned whilst the chancallor declares open season on his satrapy?

(admittadly a sucessful rebellion would be hard to act out after, since there will be effectivly two compeating states operating with the same budget and map info.)

All other example's I can think off also involve civil wars... second best one I can think of, say two players declare themselves "rightful" heir.. both want to assume chancallorship.. who gets it?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Or am I just thinking too much?

Now.. about the elephants. The rules say that FH/FL can have them, yes. But they also say this:

They can however get to recruit 1 local unit for every 2 Influence points and 1 local unit for every 3 Command stars.(The unit type of the additional units can be what ever the Satrap chooses)

This means that if Satrap wants and elephants are available in his Satrapy then he can ask Chancellor to recruit them.

Also.. every situation is different and they will be dealt differently. Braking a Rule is not the same as braking an Edict. You can brake Edicts as much as you want but expect IC reaction to that.
If you think that braking the rule for IC purposes is the only way then pm me and we will see what happen. Also, everything said to me OOC will stay OOC. So Antiochos will still be surprised if someone declares civil war or something

ahhh I see... one final question... if a civil war happens, how is each sides budget for merc's defined?

Could somebody move my character, Polyxenidos Lykikos, north-east for me. My EB is doing strange things in battles, even a clean reinstall doesn't fix it, so I have it uninstalled at the minute.

I'll do it when I take the save tonight, where are you nearby?

and how far north east would you like to go?
(even modern reference points would be helpful
