GAve up my campaign as the Brutii cause I was really fed up with rebels appearing every turn ...

Changed the spaming rate to 100 instead of 10, but that does not appear to affect ongoing campaign ... :((

Now playing as the Scipii for a different experience (yes one day I will unlock those other factions) ...

Got rid of Carthage and Numidia and now onw Sicily, Western North Africa and a large piece of Spain (expect one last province owned by the Spanish and Numacia owned by the Brittons ...), Crete and Rhodes (too tempting to resist since both islands were rebel-onwed). Julii have made no significant progress (they've juste taken Marseille) ... Brutii got Greece but are now moving northward .... Greeks, Macedonian, Seleucid, Gauls, Daces, Cathaginian and Numidian are history ... Got a 10 star faction leader (was a "military genius" and after a few battles became "superior commander" and "strong in defence") all would be nice if he had not caught the plague ... Building baths and hoping for the best ...

Few additional questions:

- how does the reinforcement system works ? It's seems there is no way to replace archers or artillery that have run out of arrows and that if more than a full stack takes part in the battle, the additional troops will be managed by the IA .... So how does it work if I need large number of artillery pieces to break down city walls ?

- at what ages does a princess no longer available for a wedding/breeding. Some princesses who are about 25 seem to attract very little interest (I turned down quite a few useless candidates). Likewise a few of my family members have just married princesses well into their 30s' ... Have they any chance to get an heir or is there some kind of time limit for that ?

- how do you know what is the max farm upgrade you can build in a city in order to avoird excessive population ? I undertand that the one that takes four turn to build is normally the limit but there seems to be some difference between province regarding "natural" farming output so that max farm upgrade might have some benefit in rather arid provinces (for instance Sahara)

- do rebels have a negative effect even if I cannot see those ? In some large provinces (Sahara again) I sometimes discover rebels roaming aimlessly around the desert ... Do I need to build watchtower every here and there and hunt them down or can I just let them live ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
