Well there's been some complaints, but in general uprisings as they are now more or less Ok. Except there's a particular kind of uprising missing. There are mostly peasant uprisings and faction reappearances. We may, of course, agree or disagree on their realism, judging basically by our deeply subjective comprehension, but there is different matter I'd like to bring to the attention of the nobles of this realm http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
The thing is there's rarely or never (?) a power-struggle uprising among the aristocracy, which would be a filthy thing to consider if there weren't certain, perhaps extreem circumstances where such is justified for the sake of kingdom. I mean such as a royal or non-royal prince or general trying to seize power, removing a ruler who, if it were to be true, is unfit to rule or occupies throne baselessly. Thus rescuing the coutry from a bad monarh.
Our kingdom had a monarh with influence 3, acumen 1, piety 0, command 3, and lazy, gluttony and another quite bad sin which I would not mention in this honorable guild. In a vast Empire, rich with talented generals and princes (of whom a lot has very good claim to the throne, especially that one with acumen 8, influence 7 and piety 4).
When the ruler I mentioned inherited the crown after the death (of the circumstances of which rumors still circulate in the court) of much more just and pious Principle who enjoyed unshared and sincere devotion of our kind people, the empire sank into rebellions and unrest, with hands in the play not only of inner but also outer enemies and instigators who before deared not interfere with the matters of our realm.
Don't get me wrong, any king is good, but sometimes God through various sings indicates that the person is just unfit to rule.
Perhaps this shouldn't be as wild and violent as uprising in the case described, but let's say OPTION (appears where next king is, let's say obviously, 50% by stats worse than the previous) to remove it and to pass the power to the best heir or royal (perhaps a general married right princess would also suit) blood person, whith simultaneously lowest loyalty. This could result, if such option is selected by the player in certain temporary bad consequences, such as some pillaging or paying off the nobility that helped. The we coould have nice dialogue "execute, imprison, release" with nice effect on the stats http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif
We have a good "loyalty" option after all and frankly, I always though that having a prince with low loyalty means that he is kinda keeping ready a knife or poison potion for the pa'pa
