As noted in the previous dev diaries, when a Monarchy has a succession crisis one of the ways you could deal with the pretenders is by giving the pretender and his army money and turn them into a mercenary band instead.
I was thinking that it would be pretty nice and historically accurate as well if a similiar feature could be used for a Tribal country if they have their own version of a succession crisis or a civil war that, instead of them splitting off their provinces or fighting agianst you, you can instead pay them off with a "Make migrating horde" option. This will turn unhappy pops, as well as pops whose province governors are disloyal along with all dissatisfied characters, their junior family members(fathers taking their wife and kids) and retinues, into a new country that is a migrating horde who have a truce with their home nation and which will then move away, leaving your provinces intact but possibly deserted with a large portion of their pops gone.
This way you could simulate many of the migrations that historically happened such as those done by the Senones and Boii when they moved to Italy, Galatians as they invaded Greece/Anatolia, the Cimbrians/Teutons or those done by the Suebi when they migrated to Gaul.
Extra features could for example be when they cross into same culture-group countries these countries can either declare war, give military access or contribute their own unhappy populace/characters + retinues to the horde along Military Access. As the horde passes more countries the migrating Horde could swell enormously and can create substantial invasion force. The AI should have the propensity to move to more civilized countries in particular and declare war on them, and AI countries that get passed through should have a greater likelihood to contribute to the horde if the horde's leader has a high oratory skill.
Other features could be giving the player the option to switch faction to this new horde when it's created, giving the horde extra money for more troops, buying the horde off as a civilized republic/kingdom or giving them one or multiple provinces and making them a Feudatory(only if they're weak), possibly as part of a peace deal.
