I don't know if this is a bug but if I cannot get it fixed I am giving up playing EB. I am playing Rome on VH/VH and I know that is not recommended because the enemies morale is unbelievable. But I can put up with that. I have captured mainland Greece and Macedonia and part of Germany and am being attacked by the Suebi and Getai. Three of my captured cities have been bribed which seems a lot but four have simply turned coat without any warning or announcement! These cities previously showed green and had large garrisons and a competent governor. One city has done this three times! The consequence is I lose a lucrative city, a general and a nearlly full stack of troops. My campaign at the moment although I am winning battles is going backwards fast. The cities involved tend to be Pela, Sardika Naiissus and Tylis although two others have also done it. At the moment it seems everytime I capture a city an existing city turns coat. Obviously I cannot win in these circumstances. I have never had this experience with RTW or RTR. Does anyone else suffer like this? Can it be fixed? I have noticed other posters saying they have used commands to 'give' cites to another faction. Can I do that and reverse this? If so I would be glad if someone told me how. I would not use this indiscriminately but only to reverse what I perceive as unfair and perverse.

HELP.
