How to deal with rebel scum!

I'm not allowed to vote in the poll, but i'd go with the rebels getting tougher post-Marian.

It would also be good if they attacked settlements from time to time as on occasion they outnumber my garrison!

We have abandoned the GAH!, as the answer in this poll was surely GAH!

Damn, I forgot the GAH! option too. I really suck at this poll-designing malarkey!

In terms of rebels vs. hapiness, I see 2 ways of linking them. One is to base the rebel chance on the loyalty rating, the other is to only use the unrest rating (i.e. the loyalty penalty in the crossed swords icon).

Using the unrest penalty would mean that:

a) The region-specific unrest penalty in the rebel text file would actually affect rebel generation!

b) The unrest penalty due to spies in the town would be a serious issue. This also fits with the idea of enemy spies instigating rebelion, which is cool.

They do somethimes, i have had rebels lay seige to one of my settlements in Italy whilst most my army was of killing greeks.

I want more powerful rebels, at the moment unless I am in a three front war with a few strong factions rebel provinces are mainly just eaten up by my empire or another empire to give a little income boost. Occassionally there will be an annoying rebel army that moves about and hides in forests, but even then it is not a real problem, if they ambush you you almost always get time to run and then they don't chase you...
