For the 1.2 patch, I thought they made the rebels more aggressive (at least that's what the readme said). Do you get the impression that they split, and then the expeditionary force just twiddles it's thumbs, or do they beeline for a faction's cities/regions?

If they actually are going out and attacking, this would be a nice feature. If they are just picnicing in the countryside, seems a little dumb.

What is the slave AI setting in 1.2? In 1.1, it was "balanced smith".
