Factions

[mlsmith45]

Hi,

Once I've joined a faction, how do I encourage others to join? I sent my spy to scheme, but all other provinces other than my own are blacked out.

Also, someone else started a faction to put me on the throne (Byzantine), but I can't another one to put me on the throne.

Basically, faction joining seems to depend upon their relationship with you and the relationship with your liege. The higher the former and lower the latter, the greater the chance that they'll join your faction. Not sure what determines whether or not you can send your spymaster to scheme. Sometimes I can send them, sometimes I can't. *shrug*

But as for not being able to start a faction to put yourself on the throne: you can only have one of each faction, so only one faction to put you on the throne can exist at any time. But you can still join that faction.

They've done you a favour if you wanted to start that faction yourself as you're getting their support for free. Join their faction & you should get anyone who likes you more than the person you're trying to depose joining too so just be nice to as many people as possible.

There was a bug in patch 1.07 (before 1.07b was released) where you couldn't send your spymaster to scheme outside of your realm. Are you sure that you are using the latest patch?
