My legion was full stack and although it got bribed. Does it have something to do with loyalty? And can a dipl
omat protect a legion?

Thats bad luck for you than.did you have a FM in the army? I think a spy in your army helps for assasins but dont think a diplomat can do anything.you shoud train some assasins to kill enemy diplomats but first make shure they are master assasins before taking on good diplomats,if a diplomat hangs around your city whitout doing a proposal they are trying to brbe that city also i believe.

I'd say try and keep a loyal family member with your legion. Disloyal family members have a lower bribe cost and no family member in a legion also makes it easier to bribe. So yeah, try and keep a loyal family member with your legions, that way the chance of them being bribed is lessened a lot.

Loyalty definitely and any trait that says it reduces bribing costs (characters who gamble, are bad with money or who have Mistresses come to mind).

Over and above that - attach Spies and Assassins to the armies and kill any enemy Diplomat (the AI knows the 'weaker' characters) who spends time next to an army and 'waving' at them during the AI turns!

Thanks for answers. Does attaching a spy or assasins actually reduce the chance of my army being bribed? And another thing when my army got bribed some other Roman rebel armies appeared, was my army bribed or was it a script that kicked in? It said in messages that he was a turncoat so it sounded like he was bribed, and a carthaginian diplomat was hanging around.

Ok, first question, spies and assassins don't reduce the chances of your army getting bribed when you attach them, at least not without using them to kill the diplomats. They don't have hidden bonuses to reduce those chances. So you have to use them to avoid getting bribed.

Second, I think it's the script. When a Roman army "deserts", it's somehow treated as a trigger for Roman rebel armies to appear. It's got nothing to do with the enemy diplomat. I think someone with knowledge about this can explain further because I'm not sure.
