This might be good for a fruitful discussion when speaking about RL, but at least as far as MTW goes The Unknown Guy is right: Even if a general gets the 'unbribable' trait, it doesn't mean immunity to bribery - just a steep 200% increase in cost. With a war chest of over six million, this is not too much of a problem.Originally Posted by Caerfanan
Actually I imagine winning by bribery will cost more nerves (and money, of course) than plain conquest exactly because of the mediocre chances of success, as Maloncarth pointed out. Interestingly, the 'Man of Principle' line of traits only increases the amount of money needed, not the resistance to bribery attempts. Someone posted a while ago that valour stars on an emissary wouls improve the likelihood of successfully seeking for alliances/bribes but as far as I can tell this is not the case....
It was only in RTW and sub-mods that leaders could get truly unbribable.
