Captured an Eagle?

what happens if they are less loyal? do they turn on you?

In BI both Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire have a shadow-faction, called Eastern Roman Rebels and Western Roman Rebels. Any rebelling generals or cities will join these factions, taking any units under their command with them. I read somewhere they may occasionally rebel back. Other factions don't have these shadow-factions, so their generals always stay loyal.

The Goths have them too. I think originally the Berbers and the Huns were supposed to have them too, but I think they got deleted ( there are traces of a Moors and White Huns faction, I think ).

On that loyalty thing, I was going for something different in my new Western Empire campaign, and I decided to let Gaul rebel. Within three turns, a massive Western Rebel Empire came up, which revolted back to me entirely in another 4 turns...

Does capturing an eagle do anything?

No they don't.
For Goths it only happens that first rebeled city will spawn Ostrogoths. And it has nothing to do with loyalty...

After that they are 2 seperate factions in every way.

I've had this happen. The guy became a WRE rebel and then returned to the fold later on. The funny thing was that in the family tree, his original portrait was blacked out and he got a brand new one when he returned.
