    Default Strange Rebel Armies

    My early hard English campaign continues a pace. I have got to a size that the AI keeps generates quite a few rebellions etc. Last night, I had a rebellion in Syria - recently conquered from the Turks - My forces all happen to be in the castle and the rebel army consists of 16 ballistas - with a 4 star ballista as general!! This happened last thing, so I haven't fought the battle yet - should be different.

    So - can anybody top that as a strange one??

    16 mangonels. I walked over to the side and none could fire at my two units.

    In MTW the rebellions have daft units. In VI it is more balanced.

    It still happens sometimes in VI, I think it has to do with the relative value of the units. To disable this you have to mod the units so they won't appear as rebels.

    I once had an English game where the French sent stacks of nothing but ballista and UM at me. It's not that fun since your general is a hardcoded arrow magnet.

    I was playing as Italy one time and I have no idea what they were thinking but the HRE sent 2 stacks (that's right, 20 units) of nothing but archers at me. Boy did my cavalry have a field day.

    @ Don- glad to see you posting , interesting lurking for me .

    In my current HRE game I was facing a stack of Spain's that was entirely
    archers and 1 unit of Royals in Navarre. At least I was facing them
    for a few turns .
