Bribery is when a diplomat makes a general, diplomat or army join another faction. This is to weaken them. They will join your family afterwards. The next log will be about alliances.
The infdev screenshot is from turn 159, where a Aurican diplomat is in the process of bribing a Jamba Religion family member, to get them into Auricus. Here, his adoptive father is a “Benjamin Wilson”. His family tree is mostly young twenty year olds, however, the other four of Benjamin’s generation are over 50. But one member is 85 (and the faction leader). Now that’s what I call old.
