I just want to mention that though the game refers to them as rebels and brigands and so forth, within EB they represent the thousands of independent states, nations, cultures and tribes that simply couldn't be included because of the faction limit.Originally Posted by Dayve
For example, I had a rather large eleutheroi spawn when I controlled most of Italy and - again - cities were all happy. The army that appeared mainly consisted of Samnite warriors, but where could they have come from? I asked. I've taken Samnium. Well, obviously the conquest of a single settlement in RTW is representative of larger pacification efforts within the province. Even though I control the significant population area of the province - there's still ample space for the original conquered peoples to exist. My Samnite appearance therefore, I put down to a resurgence of nationalism amongst this subjugated tribe. Perhaps a leader has emerged amongst them, wielded a force together and is looking to liberate the province. Anyway, I defeated them (though it was close) so obviously that particular Samnite dream ended there, however it's not going to close off them being able to cause trouble in the future.
