Howe can I reduce revolts?

One of the best things about opportunistically attacking the Berbers (or anyone else, for that matter, with care) is that the cash you make from exterminations can be invested in much needed economics buildings.

Well also with the WRE you can expect a revolution to occur within the first few years so simply decide which cities will do so by adjusting the garrison, tax rate and religious aspects. Obviously try to limit the revolt to about five cities and then simply attack them and eliminate the populace which should decrease future problems there and also generate some cash.

Oh, one bit of advice is to also strip these cities bare of their buildings which will give you cash and also taking out their military buildings means you won't face a revolt with anything higher than a peasant unit.

Another advantage of clearing the settlement of buildings is that you get to rebuild them later! This might seem a small advantage, but when you are trying to keep your treasury down to preserve your carefully trained governors it can be really handy.
