reducing rebel frequency

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?

ah i didnt think of that .

oh well since i dont mind rebels owning provs at startup i think maybe i'l give up on this idea =(

I remember reading about this a while ago. 2 remedies that I heard about, but never tried either myself.

1. Build *forts* (not watchtowers ) and garrison them. They "secure the countryside" in the words of a moderator at the .com forums.

2. Mod the rebels factions file so that rebels can only be made of peasants. This makes taking care of them easier, but does not eliminate them. If you do not leave them any units, the game will crash.

Sorry for the vague answers.

It's sure. I plaied to shogun and medieval before and we had rebels, ut no so frequent. I play in medium level, anyway every moment a new rebel province, that transform tha game in nosing and stupid. We would have to see howe to reduce at easy levekl the rebels without to reduce the other stages of the game.
