Nuggetthegreat posted this in the MTW guides forum, I thought it might get a better response in here

Any ideas?

Has anybody else ever had a civil war turn the rebels into another faction?

While playing the spain on the campaigne i was doing great.

I was making about 7000- 8000 florins a year profit.

I decided it would be good to take out all of the people in my pininsula and eventually wiped the almohades at their own game. while conquering north africa i get this message 'You have 20 years left in this campaign.'
so i decided to go north with my other 5 huge armies.

At about 7 years left in the campaign i left my computer, got some supper, and came back. When i got back i saw a message on my screen that said this province has had a civil war witch side do you choose. of course i chose my side but when i looked all of my provinces and armies had turned to the almohades. the only explanation i could think of was that they had bribed all of my provinces against me. but it is impossible to bribe royalty. im sooooo confused and angry

Err... The only thing i can think of is that he somehow married a princess to the almohads and so when the king died they had a share of the player lands...

The only likely scenario here is that the rebels from the civil war joined the Almohads. He has to give some more details and preferably the order in which it happened.

The rebels were either bribed, or because they were in some dead factions ex-territory, the faction re-emerged and swallowed up all of the rebels.

Probably atleast one province was going to rebel that turn anyway and the low loyalty in that province triggered a faction reappearance the same turn as the civil war

I guess the major religion was Islam in that particular province so the "rebels" joined/became Almohads. If the rebels were catholic or whatever, Almohads probably have to fight them. It's a case pretty much like the steppe pagan rebels joining Golden Horde.

Factions don't have emmisaries when re-emerging so the rebels couldn't have been bribed lol. Plus, all agents, ships, princess, etc are gone once a faction is eliminated.

Rebelling princes can be bribed (once they're rebels of course).
