Hate them because yes, the odd occurance is grand and keeps the game interesting, but it suusally happens that about 5 emerge at once and you end up losing with only 3 years to go before winning And it really POs me when it's a reoccurance from a faction that you have wiped out up to 4 times My French campaign saw the Spanish re-emerge 4 times. Now, how exactly do you manage to miss one heir 4 times? What do they do, clone the buggers? It must come down to the stage that the re-emerging person is like an 8th cousin twice removed from the former King's dog. Honestly, it's just nuts. Once or twice, fine, but it just gets ridiculous eventually.
