How to avoid civil wars?

[nico]

Im playing as Rome, i just started a war against Carthage but all of the sudden the gens cornelia decided to rebel and besiege the city of rome, how do i avoid this in the future?

What difficulty are you playing? How more difficult how faster you get a civil war.

How you can avoid it:
1.Fight battles with a general from another family.
2.Send a character from another family on a diplomatic mission.
3.Promote a character from another family.
4.Secure loyalty, most of the time last option.
5.Doing things family likes, for example having cultural dominance. Some families will hate you if you don't have that.

Also if you want to prepare yourself for a civil war look at the overview where you can see the provinces that the families own. If there breaks a civil war out the family will take her province and her army's. If the family does not have a army, there will be a army spawned.

playing on hard with carthage, this is what I do to avoid civil wars, I actually got politics under control. You need money, avoid early wars focus on economy first. Use your characters to give gifts to other party members, specially those political party with lower loyalty. If possible do political marriages too. Always use your own party generals to do battles to increase their influence. RIght now turn 145, got 75% influence, all 3 political party above 30 loyalty, from time to time, I always send gifts to keep them loyal and to decrease their influence, assassinate their members with higher gravitas. I won't say it's easy specially with Carthage since these guys are hard to play but it ain't hard either. Not forget to hire politicians. Hope have helped.

Put your dignitaries in armies lead by generals of opposing families. Each dignitary can get the ability to give you up to +6 loyalty. Give the opposing family members wifes and promote them(first promotion to an office is free).

Nice necro.

I always make sure each rival family general is given non-upgraded and obsolete units and is accompanied by two loyalist armies with top tier units.

When civil war comes along, I just "Order 66" them all in 1-2 turns.
