Stealing a general

[iamsawyer]

I am playing as venice and its around turn 60 and i get a princess in my capital who is amazing (full charm) and i see a genoan family member only age 16 and he has amazing stats so i go to steal him.. After i did not look at the diplomacy scroll or anything but after i end my turn genoa's comes around and they attack my new family member... This isnt the issue as it seems realistic to attack a turncoat family member but when it hits my turn all of our common allies(france, pope, denmark, hungary,poland, sicily) everyone sides with me but then i hovor over my faction and it says im very untrustworthy. So what im getting at is did i tank in reputation from very trustworthy to very untrustworthy due to stealing the general?

reputation never worked in medieval.. reputation usually never works in any game .. you can get war declared on you... and be untrustworthy whole game for no reason
just ignore it.. as i doubt it will be ever fixed.. if it even can be fixed

most non Christian factions starts as untrustworthy and they stay as that whole game without any possibilities to change that..

take the rep hit, a governor with both genoese and venetian blood is worth it, well that is if they ever have a son thats admin minded and gets decent stats

I think you took the rep hit from the war. Rep has a strong tie to alliances and wars, exterminating cities, dread generals, etc.

Keep it though. Get that general to have a daughter, and her to marry a sicilian general, and then you end up with a true italiano general.

i didnt really care about the rep hit i can simply just release countless prisoners its fine i just was wondering if it was a glitch or a bug and ya i agree im gonna make a true italian

Well I think stealing is a bad rep thing. Specially stealing high value things. in this case not a thing, even worse! steal a general WOW

Don't forget that you have a enemy army standing right beside their settlement. I doubt the AI is able to make the distinction between a stuck stolen general and a enemy force beside its city.
