Hello, I know this may have been covered before but I wanted others insight on a situation that had just transpired in my current GA campaign in MTW XL 2.0.
I am playing Aragon(ians,ese:) and I took out Spanish after they tried to conquer mine own kingdom. Without all the hub-bub I took over their territories and left Leon province low tech and in rebellious state so that I could give some experience to my greenish generals. I squelched about three small, 1-3 unit uprising before the god awful, and totally Total War like Spanish faction reemergence came to pass...with 6 full armies of high tech unites, all elite!!! I was unprepared for this as I had built a nice economy and infrastructure while letting the Almohad's and Portuguese wear themselves out, hence, no defensive armies quite up to task to defend this horde. I had a saved game of course not too far in reverse of this reemergence but still was not fun at all.
My question is, even though it's a bit vague is, at what point in training through rebellions must one generally worry about this kind of retribution through returning blood lines? I have experienced this behavior with the pope and his re emergent Papal armies in past but it was easier for me to understand where the monies and materials would come from in order for him to storm back with a vengeance but less inclined to except Spanish line reemerging from a war stripped and poor Leon with an army that far surpasses my own.
Its a game engine quirk I understand, it's merely a game but in as much as I want it to be realistic as is possible to whatever extent, how should one address this type situation. Should I try to do the rebellion training only in provinces that were never held by a faction, ie, a faction homeland or would the Spanish bastard child would-be monarchs have reemerged from anywhere in the peninsula?
Any advice etc. would be gladly appreciated. I wouldn't mind reading of others experiences of similar circumstance.
Regards, Muvs.
