I'm trying to blow up WRE because I want to know if, once destroyed, my settlements will revolt into Roman rebels still, or if they finally will revolt into grey rebels.

I'm having some difficulties managing my empire though, I know it's not that big but dudes... you have to keep under control each settlements on every turn, to see if everything is okay, then you have to re-train troops in frontline settlements (I have Samarobriva and Mediolanum constantly attacked by Alemanni and ERE). At the same time, being far from the capital is creating me some problems with bribe, I moved the capital from London to Northern Italy (Mediolanum) and Tara's pop is often unrested due to bribe.

Any tips?
Actually, when you wipe out WRE, the WRE rebels will become the new WRE. BI was hard, finances are more difficult than in RTW. I would advise lots of Heerbann to deal with ERE, preferably Francisca Heerbann, who are one of the top 5, and I think top 3, infantry units in the game. Axe and Sword Heerbann can hold their own against most Romans, and can beat most other troops. Saxon Hearth troops and Roman Comatatenses/Plumbatarii are better than Francisca Heerbann, and that is it, I think. By the way, in BI, First Cohort have better stats than standard Cohort. ERE trains Hippotoxotai (cav archers). WRE gets Bucelarii, who are crossbowmen who if I remember right are effective against armour. Roman cav is overall decent, nothing spectacular, though they do have some elite cav units. Oh, WRE gets an elite spear unit as well, for those who don't know.
