Hi guys,

I'm close to wrapping up a Sassanid campaign and until recently had not looked at the victory conditions at all. Turns out I almost meet the requirements for a Divine victory - except that I have 3 vassals and even the small victory require 10. My starting ones turned out to be so unreliable I annexed most of them a long time ago... and I don't think there are enough factions left to reach the 20 needed for a divine victory anyway.


Is there a way of creating new ones? I could not see any "grand independence" feature that would allow me to just create them directly. That would leave as my only option deliberately pushing cities to revolt. However, from what I've seen so far not all factions can be puppeted. Separatists (mine or others) look like they can only get destroyed, and when Partha declared independence I also did not get the option to puppet them again when I took their lone city, maybe because they are classified as a horde?


So if anyone had any tips on what revolts are likely to lead to puppetable rebels that would be great!


Thanks,


K.
