Does anyone no where to find the Rebel Spawn Army's

[Rovert]

Im playing as Casse and there is these Rebel armys that pop up with elite troops 3 turns in,
I have the rebels turned off but there are these scripted armys and i want to know how to get rid of them.

Um, how exactly have you turned off rebels? We certainly haven't scripted any armies to spawn in the british isles, so I imagine that its a rebel army (either that existed beforehand or popped into existence).

I turn the rebels to 0 in the desr_strat and it works for almost all factions i use but for some reason when u play as Casse , Sarmatians or the Germans u get these crazy pop up elite armys.

Am i wrong about turning it to 0

Ouch, setting rebels to 0 was a big mistake. This value works in reverse, meaning the higher you set it, the fewer rebels will spawn. I don't what exactly this value states, but e.g. increasing it to 1000 should reduce the spawn rate to an absolute minimum.

Setting 0 means they are building nests all over the world and keep reproducing like ants, spamming armies almost every turn...

That's some very useful information. Here:

Ah, it's nothing based on deeper knowledge of the mysterious RTW engine, it's basically empirical study ;) .
I also was dissatisfied with the standard rebel spawn rate as it gets incredibly annoying having to hunt those pesky mini armies especially if you have a big empire. I chose to impose other restrictions on myself instead of having to fight all those slaughterhouse-battles, so I wanted to reducte the spawn rate to 1/2. And well, obviously I soon encountered more rebels than my empire had citizens, so there had to be something wrong.
Increasing the value helped, so I greatly assume my theory is right.
Oh yeah, and this works completely the same way for the pirate spawn value, so if you want to encounter anything else in the Mediterranean than hundreds and thousands of almighty pirate bands, you can increase this value by free choice too.
