Oi - who are you callin a barbarian! this is an Iceni thread.

On my to do list - I think I have solved this, I knew you have province wide happiness
BUT

In my head what was happening was - I am +5, occupy neighbour and get -25 for 1-2 turns as a penalty then I should be +5 again - wtf I am still -5 a few turns on
In game what happens is I was rocking +5 including a region stability bonus of +? - then at occupation I get a temp penalty of -25 and a knock on of stability bonus of -? for ? turns.
I get revolts - put the revolt to the sword and the stability bonus +ive is back in swing and off we go

to do -
what is the ongoing negative impact and how long does it take to wear off?
does it just add when occupying multiple regions or compound?

which leads to -
When I go a conquering - how many turns do I need an army hanging around and getting tax penalties until I get the revolt and level things off
Should I keep building squalor buildings to get the revolt (and lack of tax income) out of the way?
What -ive happiness can I run during this flux period and be sure it will bounce back?

this is the kind of meta game I was looking for - way more complex than S2 where I would chuck an army in and convert religion and maybe stop taxes for a couple of seasons
