reducing rebel frequency

[alby]

is there anyway i can reduce the appearance of rebels?

i play on vh vh and am getting tired of constantly clearing rebels for them to reappear 2 seconds later. the way i see it is..

yes rebels or ok in less developed provs but to have them constantly appearing in well developed proves smarts as unrealistic to me. so how can i change this?

u can edit export_desrc_buildings.txt so that when u upgrade the core buildings in ur towns ie, imperial place those ones, so that u get a law bonous when u upgrade them this makes it more realistic cos all the places u conquer start of small(usually) and as they grow u upgrade those builings and they increase law. THIS only effects law in the city making rebellions in ur city less likely i dont know how to make rebels stop appearing on the map or reduce the frequency of it. cheers

i not worried about keeping cities under control as thats fairly easy, its the constant random appearance of rebels that gets up my nose, i mean i have watchtowers everywere and keep my cities in good order and still u get rebels appearing right outside your capital (normally on a chokepoint....or bridge)

i did a search and tweaked desc_rebel_factions.txt reducing all chances to zero but that doesnt seem to have much of an effect

maybe it would be easier to just eliminate them altogether

any suggestions on how this is achieved?

Try editing the Brigands entry at the very bottom of descr_rebel_factions.txt. I don't know what happens if you remove it, but perhaps it will eliminate them. Otherwise, you could try leaving the entry in but with no units in it, or just having a single peasant unit there.

i tried deleting the brigands but game CTD

havent had time to start a new campaign properly yet but if i delete "slaves" from descr_strat do you think this will elimainate rebels?

game still loads and all seems as usual but as i said i havent had time to play long enough to see effect on rebels spawning etc

Wouldn't you have to give control of all the rebel provinces to specific factions?
