From Celt Centurion,

Has anybody ever taken Themistikyra, way up on the North Edge? It rarely is anything but a rebel settlement. SPQR ordered me to take it once in 10 turns. It took 15 just to get close to it! I think that SPQR was setting me up to fail, because when I didn't take it in time, they ordered me to have my faction leader commit suicide. (Then I fell out of grace with them, just as I am sure many of you have.)

Anyway, as the Egyptians, I took it, immediately got booted out, and repeated the process three times. Then I started building what buildings I could, and after about 130 years it actually became a thriving productive city. I actually had a catapult range in it by the time I won. My only problem with it was that even after paying for roads, roads never appeared, and travel was still just as slow.

Have fun. It takes a lot to take and keep Themistikyra, but after a while, it does pay off.

The ones that really irritate me are the ones which are constantly rioting, even with ALL buildings, low taxes, a full garrison, and a good governor, and they still riot, and kill the governor in the process.

Is there anything else one can do besides just evacuate, let them revolt, take it back, and butcher everybody in the process? I really prefer to occupy a settlement, but it NEVER works with rebels.
