what's up with the cheating computer AI?

[Navaros]

how come whenever i ELIMINATE a faction of the Computer AI it always comes back about 10 turns later with a HUGE ARMY despite the fact that there is no possible way it would have been able to AFFORD all those troops. and this huge army can just MAGICALLY APPEAR wherever the Hell it wants instantly wtf?

why is the computer allowed to CHEAT like this. this is a really retarded feature of the game and all it does is make me nauesous and not wanna play the game any more. it's not like i can magically make a huge army for free and have it instantly appear anywhere i want it to.

is there any way to DISABLE this BS feature? if not that's REALLY lame and the devs need to patch this atrocity ASAP

Factions can ONLY re-emerge in rebel provinces or places where loyalty is under 120%. Just keep your loyalty up, and they'll be someone else's problem.

This is mostly historically accurate. Many times in history has some royal demogogue gotten a decent army together to restore ancient lands. Of course, there's an equal number of accounts of these armies being butchered.

So feel free to give them a history lesson. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Navaros see the Table of Contents (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=7;t=3823) thread in the Main Hall. Look specifically for the topics under Revolts and Respawning factions. Many, many others have been down the road you are currently on. There are ways to deal with it which boils down to take care of the people and they will love you...or watch them real closely.

Wait 'til you have a civil war... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif
