I love the variety and the unpredictability. I find they get better and better, and bigger and bigger, the more times you repeat. I don't build the happiness buildings, but I do build any military buildings I can - the rebels seem to get more teched the more of them I have. You can end up with massive rebellions in your backyard while you are trying to hold your borders against some invader.

Also, if you can get the Swiss or the Burgundians to revolt late in the game you end up with a whole new faction to fight....
