Much more fun to focus on the fights between yourself and the AI, full stack vs full stack, with results that actually mean something.

#3 Give the AI governor's structure 100 to happiness, to prevent the problematic rebellion bug.


I've done all these (and much more) to my files, and the game is so much more fun.
Just seems too easy. The whole point of rebel spawns is that when you capture a province , you overstretch your ability to maintain strict control over all your empire and allow enemy factions to take advantage of trouble in your lands.

What i usually do is create an all ranged cav army that is mobile enough to cover half a continent and solve my rebel problems with minimal cost. The sauro mercs are very good for this if you can get them. 272 upkeep is a joke for such a unit.
