Whats The Toughest Rebel City?

[RemusAvenged]

Mine is of course is Themyscira.
They love to rebel once conquered too. Good times.
Love the Amazons, too bad Wonder Woman wasn't there though.

Whats yours?

Lilybaeum after being built to become a super large city in my TGE campaign.
Suddenly 20 slots appear with fully upgraded stuff. Won't go into details you can guess it all yourself.

On Mundus Magnus, many of the rebel cities are heavily defended. But the armies have a trait that makes them immobile (unable to leave the city and go conquering everywhere).

One of the especially strong ones that comes to mind is Syracuse:

8 Hoplites (2 silver chevron, silver defence and weapon upgrades).
2 Cav (2 silver chevron, silver defence and weapon upgrades)
General (decent upgrades too).

It's quite difficult to take with your starting armies because of the upgraded troops.

toughest rebel city?
Im shamed to admit, but it was my capital, Capua, while playing with Scipii. i maneged to start rebelion in this city, becouse it had realy bad public order, and i prefer another 20000 denarii, thanks. but to my surprise, rebel units, was way out my current strenght in area(one general, some town watch and hastati, after Marius reform, so i couldnt retrein them).
anyway rebels had bloody war elephants and some regular elephants, with mix of arab cavalry and barbarian horde(i was thinking about melting pot when i saw those units). how in seven hell elephants came to Capua? even Haniball wasnt able to get them that far. not to mention camels, they are weak, but elephants?!!! it was hard to capture Capua again, but nasty surprise happened once aggain with Medolianum(what is wrong with this city?), with same 'egzotic" units. luckily enough romans infantry throws pilum, so i managed to slay elephants while besieging.
other than this i didnt meet any serious rebel armies(ok, this one wasnt serious, just had bloody elephants). only once happened that in memphis rebeling egyptians was well trained(+3for armour and weapons and more than +4xp), but they mostly were peasents and javelins, so i beat them easily.

Probably Themiskyra, Hyperboria. Home of the Amazons, and their Amazonian chariots.

Back in the old days of vanilla, I kept getting CTDs eveytime I faced the Amazonian chariots. Think this may have been the model, everytime you tried to close-up on the unit it just CTD. I know some players have never experienced this, it could just be a problem to people with low-end machines

In RTR probably the Indian provinces far in the east, i've never seen so many elephants, thousands of indian troops and hundreds of elephants, incredibly difficult to conquer.

Also in RTR as the Romans i'd just conquered Gaul and was planning to emulate Caeser by invading Britain, my army was pretty strung out after such a huge campaign against the Gauls, but I felt I could achieve some local success and maybe capture a settlement. So I started amassing what troops I could and got the fleet to the channel, I sent a spy over so I could storm a city easily, but the spy found thousands of Woad warriors with silver chevrons with a ton of chariots and slingers littering the island.

I reckon to invade, defeat the tribes, conquer and occupy Britain i'd of needed 2500 to 3500 troops atleast, all I had was 1 legion of 1400 men hastily gathered together, so suffice to say that campaign was aborted . It'd take alot of effort and preparation to conquer Britain and Ireland on RTR, I don't even know if it'd be worth conquering, but I know it'd take a hefty garrison in each city to hold them.
