Disloyal General

[Ash]

But as soon as the King dies the general will loose loyalty again IIRC.

The one downside to having him in the king's stack is that the 5 command stars won't mean anything. Even if the king is a worse commander he'll still lead the battle by default, though if you have more than 16 units in the battle you can remedy that by moving the king down into the reinforcements and letting your disloyal ex-prince be the highest remaining commander

I tend to hang onto those guys - their loyalty generally will improve with time, especially if you use princesses and/or titles. (Five stars is just too good to throw away.) Even disloyal generals won't rebel all that often unless your whole empire is in trouble.

If you don't want to leave him under the king or in a stack with a similar or better general, one other trick is to leave him in a stack by himself during turns when he isn't leading an attack - that way if he rebels he won't take an army with him.
