I don't understand why I keep seeing posts about how to strip generals of titles and then see people responding w/ 'drop a spy on them.' No offense, but the easiest, cheapest, and earliest method is to drop an emissary on 'em. No trial, no 'chance of success', nothing. He just loses his titles, and that's that. Furthermore, the game SAYS he loses loyalty as a result but I have yet to see it happen (even post-patch).
