I think it is OK. Since EB 1.1 have client rulers who can move then it is possible(correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't used level 4 gov in EB 1.1

)

they can move, but it's not advisable

i think it has a massive impact on public order if the client ruler is outside the settlement

And they happen to get this 'Insolent' trait too..

I think in the case of civil war, if that army has thrown their lot in with the Satrap, they wouldn't give a damn if the King sent some messenger to tell them to disengage or w/e. Therefore a rule stating the Basileus cannot move armies of the renegade Satrap, ONLY in the case of civil war.
Allowing the Basileus to move those armies is like when Caesar left for Greece, the senate ordered his other half of his army to go back north of the Rubicon or something. it just doesnt make sense.

In case of a civil war you shouldn't send your Captain led stack to land that Basileus controls. Only then can Basileus seize them(can be roleplayed as troops were loyal to Basileus and left the Satrap they served). But if they stay in the borders of the Satrapy then the Basileus can't control them even if they are 1 tile away from the Basileus' land.
Also you have to remember that if Basileus sends some Captain led units through any Satrapy then the Satrap can seize those units himself. So becoming a Satrap of Susa or Persia is a chance to intercept and seize all units that are passing through those lands.

Also since there is probably a divide in retraining on the players who are interested, (this does not necessarily pertain to civil wars) should armies be allowed to retrain to full strength?

Yes, retraining is allowed.

I apologize for not noticing your post before.

thank you, Ibn-Khaldun all is forgiven!

how is the test game doing?

Since some of the test gamers were not able to play as fast as I would have wanted WH and I decided to start the real game instead. We will see if that was a bad idea or not.
