Dear Crew:
Will somebody please explain what the heck is going on in Medieval regarding revolts?
It seems like when I'm playing as a Catholic faction, about 1250-1275 many of your provinces steer invariably toward revolt. What's going on??
I've searched this forum (as well as the manual), and could find none of the traditional things that are supposed to trigger a revolt:
1. The king hasn't just died.
2. There's no plague or anything.
3. Nobody's declared a Jihad on me.
4. We haven't lost any battles.
5. All taxes everywhere are "very low."
6. In most of the revolting regions, they're "100% Catholic"
7. I'm not excommunicated.
8. No reports of famine.
9. Not in the red financially.
In short, NOTHING's going on that would provoke such a widespread revolt.
This phenomenon doesn't happen in any particular year, but it seems to start about 1245. Provinces that I've held with no problems for 150 years suddenly go red THe thing that irritates me is that I could have TWO FULL STACKS of soldiers garrisoned in the province and it'll still revolt Why?? What am I doing? It's like the game simply doesn't want you to hold on to about 50% of your territory after a certain point in the game, no matter what you do.
(I don't seem to have this problem when playing as the Muslims.)
My game is set on "easy." I'm about to conclude that the game simply causes revolts to happen about mid-way through the game, because otherwise, the endgame would be too monotonous... In other words, for no reason.
Is this something I can correct? Can anybody offer an opinion? I happen to have one of these games saved if anybody would like to take a look: one minute all provinces are green, then hit "ENTER," and there's widespread revolt, but nothing has happened
Signed,
