conquering every province

Unit size does not make it harder or easier to control cities. If two units of Leves are enough on huge to get the maximum 80% order bonus, then two units of Leves are enough on normal unit size to get the same 80% bonus.

Huge has the advantage that you can limit population growth somewhat easier (by recruiting), but as a downside, you have to be very careful with recruiting in smaller settlements, else they will end up as ghost towns.

There is little point in aiming for green faces - you want to earn all the money you can get. The downside to having yellow and blue happiness faces is that there is a higher chance of rebels spawning in such provinces.

Some generals are good governors (influence), and have traits that reduce unrest. They also bring along a garrison of some sort sorts (the conquering army) which will help (to a max of 80%). EB really rewards players who manage their FMs well, and if you play your cards right the FM alone can contribute more than 80%.

You can also change tax rates. The difference between Very High and Low is 70%, with low being 30% better than normal.

The penalties you are combating are mainly culture (50% max) and distance to capital (80% max).

thats the bit i dont understand lol, why is influence better than management for unrest

Is it really?(apart from larger bodyguard)
Anyway I would understand that the Unrest in a province would be limited by Large influence of the Fm as They all tremble as he may do the same to them as the ... or are simply awestrucken. This all happens before he does all the clever things(management) that increace happyness.
