I'm on my first full length campaign, playing Byz. Been doing OK so far - its 1215 and i control trade and the oceans, have conquered the Turks, Egypt, hold Khazar, Flanders & Sweden with fully reinforced armies and loads in the bank.
The almohads have just launched a jihad to get back tunisia so I deployed troops to go onto a counter-offensive to destroy the ribat. Got the almohads to retreat and was just about to go in for the kill when i got peasant uprisings in about 10 provinces on one turn! All the ex-egyptian and turkish provinces, as well as trebizond all revolted. This despite them all having happiness levels of over 160% and, in most cases over 70% orthodox, with churches and bishops all over the place.
Ha s the AI just decided to pull a fast one??????????
