Cheat!

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??????????

hmm, odd indeed.. No changes in where you put your Emperor or ships? Could it be you placed your Emperor out of bounds with your empire? broke a ship chain? Your Emperor just went pervert (unimaginable being Byz, butta..)? Your muslim enemies spawned amirs?

did you put your king in a position where he was seperated from your povinces by quite a few turns ?

thats usually my problem when i get a decently big drop in loyalty levels.

or has your king died ? that can cause a sizeable drop depending on the old king and the new king, his vices and virtues, influence as well. (and where he is on the map, more than a few turns away)

though im not too experienced with single player so theres probably more.

Yeah thanks guys. I did move my royal court over to flanders, but i didn't think this would make a difference as all shipping routes were open. It must have affected them.

I didn't realise my subjugated prvinces were so fond of me!

What were you thinking moving that king away from the Sacred City of Constantinople? No No just kidding. Yes sometimes due to strange events like a crusade launched against me, or a invasion, I get what i call "Flash Rebelions". Almost all my provinces rebel and its only for one turn, the next turn their just fine and happy. Doesn't make sense, might be a glitch, but its way to late to fix it now. Oh well, good luck with the campain.

Hi
One thing you could try is when you own a large amount of the world is let the AI control your taxes, unit and building production. This seams to solve the problem of provinces rebeling. One other is to let the AI auto assign titles because it chooses high accum generals which benfit the province they work in. Just as a side note I don't advise this early in the campaign as the AI is pretty out of it, but when all your concerned of is moving key armies to crush remaining factions it really frees up your time.
