Faction Leader Loyalty

[Hengest]

I'm assuming that this is an actual thing? Someone mentioned to me that they had experienced a FL rebelling, disappearing from the family tree and being replaced by the FH. I wonder if this is true or if someone is aware of any possible in-game issues that this might have? Could it be a bug, or create bugs/error issues? Or is it simple possibility? I'm not familiar with any of the files associated with loyalty and I am assuming that this is more complex than just loyalty since the FL has such an importance to the whole faction. Can anyone enlighten me?

hmm, i dont think it can happen in a bog standard vanilla game, but maybe BBB was installed or something like it where rebelion is much more common!

the likely files:

descr_campaign_db.xml might play a part in this, aswell as descr_campaign_ai_db.xml, descr_settlement_mechanics.xml and ofcourse traits and ancilliaries can increase and decrease loyalty when triggered.

If I remember correctly this could happen in Rome: Total War but they may have fixed it for Medieval 2

This shouldn't be possabile as far as I know, there's nothing in BBB that should allow a FL to rebel against his own faction. Sounds like some kind of bug.
