Civil war

[Maion Maroneios]

Ok but I doubt it would be realistic to represent eg the Cesar\Pompey wars with a simple shadow faction.....
No i was talking more along the lines of giving them to eleutheroi but that's not good enough, we would need a major unrest "un-bonus" in some cities and make the general an actual threat, the eleutheroi can't do all that and neither can a shadow faction. However maybe if we combined the two.....
Any ideas?

The loyalty feature makes characters with low Loyalty points revolt to the shadow faction. While I haven't enabled Loyalty fully, if I have a FM close to a region (or within a city) that rebels as soon as I hit End Turn, he turns over to the shadow faction, including his army. Makes more than enough for roleplay if you ask me.
