    Talking about princes, can they be made governors of regions? I don´t seem to be able to do so, but then, that might be me. Giving them some ruling experience on a smaller scale certainly wouldn´t hurt, or would it?

    I think when you are the heir to an empire, you already kind of are the governor of every province. Although I do kind of see where you're coming from, giving princes certain responsibilities at an early age. But I'm sure they do all that kind of stuff in their palace...

    I never have civil wars. I see enemies have them though.

    GOOD CIVIL WARS-

    I have actually found that sometimes civil war helpes me. With a low trait King in the early game on hard/expert, provinces can be rebelious. The best way to fix it is to try to make civil war and get a new strong leader in charge. This saved a Sicilian campaign of mine.

    Tell you what annoys me about civil wars: When you don't have enough troops to take on all rebel provinces at once, and your trusted 'allies' kindly swag them off you

    It saved a Scottish campaign of mine. My king was a worthless piece of crap and I was relatively bored, as the Mercians were too strong to take on and there was not much going on. My king had no heirs that were come of age but I decided to assassinate him anyway. I expected to lose but was surprised to see a civil war had broken out. I backed the rebels, who were led by a kick-ass prince who had long ago been in line for the throne himself. For the rest of the game I had decent-to-great kings.

    And don't forget this kids: Sending your king to conquer that small, abandoned island with no port is a very bad idea. In advanced campaigns it could mean instant civil war.

    Sometimes this comes down to some micromanagement;

    checking general's loyalty
    checking your king's influence and making sure he is not too far from the center of your empire

    checking your cash flow, sudden shifts due to war with a big trading partner will affect some provinces, especially if almost all your income is from trade

    checking ths size of armies under your princes and your king (bigger is better)

    Even with a port it is still a bad idea. The port will often be destroyed after taking the castle.

    Wait till the king is dead. The first-born prince will become king and the other princes will become royal knights, allowing you to use them as governors...
