Thanks for the help, all. I never did get much into spies, good deal. I guess I'll have to start anew, because theres just no way with this game =/.

I counted and it was like 70 revolts, and each one was at least 1500 troops, and as high as 3500, and while I did have the mightiest military, I don't have that much (heck, the Russians alone, after counting all the armies that reappear due to the revolt, had something in the order of 25,000 troopers, waaaaaay more then I have). And most of the castles and what-have you that I've built only last 4 years top in a siege, which doesn't leave me enough time to quell the rebellions.

I didn't know that all those buildings added to happiness, thats cool. I generally did build all of the lower level ones, however.

Again, thanks for the input all
