After reading of Garnier's fantastic stunt, I must know more.
How can one successfully orchestrate a civil war?
I remember in XL 3.0 doing several strange things when I became bored with my Irish campaign, (Such as gathering 10,000 men and with one ship marching from Connemara to Rome, where I settled the Irish as the new papacy).
One of these efforts was to start a civil war.
I made several new units, all of whom had 1-3 loyalty under a 2 influence King, and I then placed the only two loyal men in the Kingdom in the ruler's army of 3 units, and I then at first set twenty disloyal units seperately in my one province with him, then I stacked them and had two generals of 0 loyalty with 1000 men each against the King with 250 in the same province.
Nothing ever happened.
I have had two disastrous, accidental civil wars since I first began playing MTW, and never again.
I would really appreciate being briefed on this subjective art.
It may be useful in my AAR..
