Re: Why are my bribees dying.
I've made the experience that only (Eleutheroi) gouvernors die, the generals/FMs in the field survive.
AI Client Rulers are considered FMs after you bribe them, but for not long, as they die after you "hit the button". Happened to me in a Pontic campaign some time ago after I bribed the Makedonian C.R. in Mytilene, was the first and last time for me to do this.

Towards the end of the book, the Moties quote an old story from Herodotus:
"Once there was a thief who was to be executed. As he was taken away he made a bargain with the king: In one year he would teach the king's favorite horse to sing hymns."
"The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed. 'You will not succeed,' they told him. 'No one can.' To which the thief replied, 'I have a year, and who knows what will happen in that time. The king might die. The horse might die. I might die. And perhaps the horse will learn to sing.'"
