[quote=duck55223] The officers would only make up a small percentage the army. Thats not much support.As for the congress thing...Where did I say they took a oath of loyalty to the congress? Only to the Kaiser. Yes there might be patriots that would support the royalists but there wouldn't be enough to stabilize the military a lot. [/quote] Officers pay the mens wages, and also hold a lot of sway over their men, particularly in a military like the Lance's where loyalty has been drummed into them. We've got the Old Farts who are ex-soldiers, and we have the Royalists who have support in the Army. The two could form a very deadly alliance, so don't assign them as fringe threats Also, Kaiser of Prussia and Emperor of the Lance aren't the same thing. What you have done is basically the acts of union between England and Scotland. That is, the Lance Empire and Numburg have both ceased to exist and have been replaced with Prussia. So you have just ended the nation your people supported, don't expect everyone to just swing to Prussia.
