In my first Scipii campaign, I had two revolts in Tingi consisting of the greater part of a stack loaded with 9 honour, silver weapon, gold armour peasants ( )& other 'riff raff'.
I actually quite enjoyed having to deal with them.
The first revolt annihilated a full stack of fairly elite pre-marian troops & it was only after that that I found them to be so powerfully upgraded.
It was finally put down by missiles, a new stack of post-marian units & mercenary Elephants.
Same trick worked second time too.
