I've just started another Epeiros-as-Pergamon game (so ironically Pergamon is no longer Eleutheroi). I've been gifting something in the region of 800k a turn via console and they do seem to be much more active than I remember - there are even pirates! Though at best it's just slowing the other AI factions, the Romans are still determined to go north rather than south and into Sicily. I did think about financially penalising the Romans, but I remember that to be a very tricky balance that ends up over-compensating in both directions, since if the AI gets too poor it goes completely inactive.

I stole Krete which has stabilised my financial situation, but otherwise I'm playing a game of assassins and spies in my neighbourhood, rather than conquest.

Is there any way to trigger unrest with the console, besides adding population?
