Is it so simple, that if my empire is (shift down) all-green before I press 'end turn' I will be safe? ;) That would be great.

Anyway, I usually build watchtower, borderfort, church and put there at least 2 units of slavs, peasant or spearmen. Now I will put it on autotax and check whether all my provinces are on very high tax rate - so that their loyalty is upkept by other factors than low taxes. If not, I add another unit.
Seems to be a good way.

Your governor's dread rating affects it, and I think his piety if the zeal of the province is high enough. There may be other things.

There are a few other odd things that affect loyalty. Being cut off your king always seemed to be a problem for loyalty.

The holding the shift key down, IIRC, was a good for quick way to get an overview of the loyalty of your realm.
