The big IF

[bondovic]

This is one reason why I like Cynwulf's Pocket Mod. It increases the rebelliousness of all provinces (to 2, I think), which forces you to make a more serious effort to keep the local populace happy.

I do this as well, and it really is the "second best thing". But I'd like to see invaders have a much harder time than myself in controlling my provinces. This is only fixable trough region+faction specific loyalty buildings, I think. But maybe you meant that Cynwulf has already implemented this (I haven't, as of yet, I might add)?

Speaking of Cynwulf's Pocket mod, what all does it entail?

You can see a full list of the changes here. The most version is available for download here, although it's still fairly rough at the moment. There's a number of bugs still in it, and I've not had a chance to do much playtesting myself (especially in the last couple months). Still, it really improves the gameplay IMHO, and I very much enjoy playing it when I have the chance to.

Not in the way you're describing, no. It's an interesting idea, though, one perhaps worth implementing. Unfortunately, I know that Cynwulf has been too busy the last few months to do any work on the project, due at least in part to RL issues.
