launching invasions

[BakTraq]

One question - when the AI moves, do the AI factions cooperate with each other in any way? Or do they all move independently, but after you.

If I'm not mistaken (of course I could be), the AI factions take their turns seperately, in the order of the kings' pictures that appears after you hit the 'End Year' button (Yea, they all move after you). The game, to get you back in control as quickly as possible, however, simply moves all their pieces at the same time, making it seem like they're all coordinated in some way.

And ichi, you're right man, I completely misunderstood the gist of your post. For starters, I should have said the 'third' paragraph of your suggestion, but even then I would've been wrong. Cause I'm assuming you simply meant to move a couple hundred guys in with a low rank general, which in turn would mean that his 'Hesitant' vice would be irrelevant anyway as soon as he came back under the command a stronger general. My apologies I wasn't thinking clearly.

NP mate

you made a good point about the unintended consequences of retreating.
