Minimizing brigands/rebels spawning

[sik1977]

The descr_strat.txt has the following lines added since V.1.3

brigand_spawn_value 12
pirate_spawn_value 28

My question is, whether increasing the values decreases the spawn rate of brigands or vice versa?

I heard sometime back that incrasing the spawn value decreases rebel spawning, however, I recently tried values as high as 99 for brigand_spawn_value but the brigands/rebels still appear even in provinces with greater then 100% loyalty.

A confirmation of this will be much appreciated, as later in the game brigands are nothing more then a nuisance/distraction from the main game.

Thanks.

Increasing it SHOULD make them appear less often....

BUT...

They still are right ~$€^^: as they still seem to appear like a dog to buscuits on a rainy day.

Personally, even when I made 'shrine' have a +50 happiness bonus, they still appear.

I would like to know if there is a way of removing rebel factions easily...

EVERYONE HATES REBELS...

I presently have the Brigand sawn value fixed at 100. Anyone know whats the maximum value one can set?

[Lentonius]

I set it to 100000

but, like most things if a number is too high it will clock over back to 0...

Um, what about deleting all brigands? Just put in nothing for the types of brigands that could spawn.

If this causes CTD, just put in a peasant unit for every type of brigand. Easy to destroy.
