PAFC: Hi there, I'm new to this game & forum too, glad to see a newbie like me around too

Anyway for the first question, playing other factions are only possible only after completing the Imperial Campaign once through

The second question, using the Diplomat right-clicking on a stack that has a general will open up a window. On the top of the left, there's a bribe option, select to bribe the enemy. I know this because I tried it Bribed a Brutii family member

it seems that sometimes you can't bribe cities if they have a diplomat inside ... also, bribing generals should work, if the unit is without generals then it just disbands.

you can't bribe generals that are faction leaders or hiers. (you also can't bribe a city that the above is governing)

Sorry, but as far as I know, you can bribe faction leaders and cities which are in their controlling in RTW.

correction: heirs, but without faction leaders:-)
