Yet another thing I discovered. Apparently when you exalt a disloyal general from an army due to civil war might break out because he/she controls more than 50% of the units, the one who got exalted gain loyalty(!) but others will lose only 0,1 loyalty per month for a short time(!)

This is absolutely illogical design.

Yea this is exactly what happened when Rome decided to exalt Sezar from its troops :) The troops didn’t follow the Sezar and everybody lived happily ever after.

How did this happen?

My god, at least make the units lost their entire morale with a penalty for a while to not regenerate morale or better yet make them rebel. There is no penalty for things like that?

I think you don't know what "exalt" means or confuse it with another word.

Because exalt means (roughly) to "speak very highly of". Basically you're praising the guy in public so he's pleased about that. The other guys, not so much. Because you don't exalt generals. You exalt clan chiefs. Who also happen to be generals over their own troops. So by exalting a clan chief, you're basically distinguishing him from the rest and letting him enjoy greater prestige than the others do. So they're jealous and lose loyalty.
