Hey there! I could really use your help, or at least some hints, tips or info!
Summary of the situation:
I'm playing vanilla, un-modded MTW with the Turks. The year is somewhere in the 1185-1990 area, I'm not exactly sure. I blitzed Egypt at the very start of the game, then attacked Constantinople/the Byzantines, and later the Almohads as well. I now control Spain and North-Africa entirely, the entire Middle-East, and everything up to Georgia and Serbia/Hungary in the East.
I'm still at war with Byzantium, and every Catholic faction that feels the need to launch a Crusade in my general direction. I've conquered Spain (which is my most recent conquest as well) roughly 20 years ago. I have a 100-man garrison everywhere, I've built border forts and town watches everywhere and loyalty is near 200% in most provinces, but certainly over 170%. My Sultan has the 'Magnificent Builder' and 'Great Steward' virtues, which both increase happiness in all provinces, and has either 6 or 7 points of influence (about two less than his dad, who died a few years ago). He is sitting in Serbia, doing nothing, and all is well.
But then! I invade Croatia, which is controlled by the Italians, (who first broke our century-old alliance and then launched a crusade at me, the bastards!), with a large army, which includes my Sultan. And immediately everything goes to hell! I get Almohad re-emergences in the entirety of Spain AND most of North Africa (10 provinces total, I believe), and even peasant uprisings in Egypt and Sinai, even though I've controlled those regions for more than a hundred years. What's going on here? I know you can get re-emergences when loyalty drops below 120%, but my loyalty is far, far above that. I can't imagine that sending your faction leader into combat, and winning, causes your entire population to go mad.
So, what's going on here? What's causing this ruckus? Is there anything I can do about it, or am I supposed to leave my Sultan in some backwater province where he cannot gain any command stars or influence? That would be surely disappointing, so I hope that's not the case. So, if you have any useful insights, I'd be more than happy if you're willing to share them with me!
Cheers, Vlad
(Sorry about the long read, too)
