I know in XL and most likely several other Mods, getting all the provinces is a royal pain in the kahoots...

so, when getting close to that limit, I wanna get rid of another faction.. but destroy them internally...in a "nontraditional" way..

I have 1 or 2 power stacks with high star gens ravage thru thier provinces and just conquer them to raze them to the ground & just move on to severaly weaken them and keep them down...

Current situation: Playing France.. I own France, Denmark, HRE, Venice, Genoese and Wessex...

so I am torching everything in Spain and lo.. The Almos come back..lol.. to a burned scorched landscape...

question: How do you guys "wipe out the competition" when outright taking the lands will just cause the pop to revolt and the computer 'make life HARD for your faction'..:P
