Why are my bribees dying.
In my KH campaign I managed to bribe Thermon and both generals in the city but for some reason they both died when I ended the turn, it says they were killed in battle but they didn't do anything, this isn't the first time either, it happened to at least 50% of bribed generals in my Rome campaign as well.
Do you guys have any ideas of what's going on?

Re: Why are my bribees dying.
If I remember correctly, at least eleutheroi generals with "Immobile" trait die when bribed.
Re: Why are my bribees dying.
In that case client kings probably die when bribed too.

They felt so ashamed for betraying their country that they committed suicide.
That's my theory

Hehe.
You're lucky. I lost almost 2000 men and two generals (who I had just bribed) around Thermon to Earthquake. Most lethal earthquake I've ever heard of.

IIRC this was implemented by CA to prevent the player bribing the best AI generals.
Re: Why are my bribees dying.
Yeah, it's a bug/hardcoded thing to as ninja says, prevent players to bribe good generals.
Does it also happen when you have less generals than provinces?

Re: Why are my bribees dying.
If so, would a decent guess be that this happens more frequently in EB due to the large amount of command stars AI generals get?

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.'"
