Heir Defection

[Jacobin]

I usually adopt all my generals as my Daimyos and their sons seem quite incapable of reproducing themselves (this really does need fixing) but have still had more than one desert to the enemy.

Can't remember if any were heirs though - probably not given that my heirs are mostly children and all seem to get killed as soon as I send them out of the capital.

However if you remember MTW it was almost compulsory for heirs to revolt and take half the provinces with them - at least in STW2 they just seem to take the army their with (and not even all of it - I am sure that one of my defectors took half his stack and immediately attacked the other half).

[Major Robert Dump]

On my current campaign, on which it looks like I may go the longhual on the long/legendary setting, I have lost 2 generals at the start of the fight, who have defected along with soldiers and screwed me in the battle. Not sons, though.

This happened immediatey after I looted two wealthy provinces because, well, I was broke and when realm divide hits they are all gonna hate me any. As I rolled into year 65 and realized no one had traded with me yet despite high honor, I figured screw it.
