generals hitpoints
Base hitpoints: 4
King: +6
Prince: +4
Command: Adds +1 per rank
V&V: 1/3 of Health bonus, rounding down. +5 to Health means +1 hitpoint.
So a king of Rank 6 with the Virtue Mighty Warrior (+ 10 Health) would look like this:
4
+6
+6
+(1/3 * 10 = 3)
= 19 hitpoints. Not bad at all.

reappearing factions
- the pope can always re-emerge, regardless of loyalty
- the game tracks underage heirs of eliminated factions(after 60 years the factions completely dead if they havent reappeared)
- re-emergences only happen along with a regular rebellion (i.e. less than 100% loyalty) and only in a province they held for at least one turn. Once the game determines a re-emergence has occured, ANY province that faction once held that is below 120% can also see loyalist troops appear.
- rebellions cause neighboring provinces to suffer lower loyalty.
- large empires suffer a provincial happiness penalty.
im adding more as i find it so feel free to add to it
