Chiba,

why would you want to get rid of them. I had my first civil war last night (and my second ) playing as russians and while I was screaming at my treacherous generals not to desert me at such a dfficult time (am being bled by Egyptians, Spanish & Hungarians and then the Byz who I have protected for 100 years have center punched me) it is what you should expect.

My empire is in decline (only temporary I hope???) and some dirtbag generals have taken the opportunity for a bit of opportunistic, self-serving, land grabbing. I'd probably do the same in their position - who wouldn't want the chance to become a local warlord.

I can't wait to capture the ringleaders and burn them at the stake though.
