Bribing Armies

[Thoros of Myr]

I don't how to do it but I have bribed an army and kept it before, maybe it's based on skill or something I have no idea, seems totally random. Or maybe only armies in your territory can be kept? I dunno but I know I have done it before.

I think it has to do with whether the rebels have a general unit or not. Added to whether the diplomat has high enough skill.

I bribed a 2 unit rebel army and they became my soldiers. If they have a general it is alot more expensive so I don't do it.

I can only speculate. Maybe your diplomat's skill or your ruler's influence or if they are in your lands (that's where I bribed them).

i've not been able to bribe any rebel armies and keep them, but i have bribed several rebel towns and kept them. and the interesting thing was, i expected the rebel cities to riot right away, since the happiness rating went to zero when i bribed it over, but, no riots and i didnt have an army in the town. i immediately built a temple and a peasant in the city and it brought the rating up enough that i got no riots. nice :) do that to a faction city and you'll likely get riots, but the rebels remained calm enough to keep the city.

it may depend if ur faction can build the enemy's unit. I've bribed a few parthian armies, the ones that came over to my side were cataphracts who rocked.....
