Hello, I'm new here.
I was playing the Danes last night in GA and have reached a point where I have a decent trade network and have conquered Sweden, Norway, Livonia and Lithuania from the rebels. I noticed that Finland (held by Novgorod at the time) had a garrison of under 100 and had so for a few years. I dropped an emissary and a bishop in there to try and stir things up and - hey presto - within 1 year rebels appeared and ousted the Novs and in I marched to wipe them out and cease Finland. I gained a new province quickly and easily and still remain allied to Novogorod.
Did my action of putting a catholic bishop in an orthodox land and an emissary in there too help forment the rebellion or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
Also, are there other ways to forment rebellions in neighbouring countries so you can invade them without breaking any alliances or incurring the Pope's displeasurer if the other faction is catholic?
Cheers
