adjusting rebel spawn rate

**Tuuvi** · 08-08-2006, 23:01

I remember reading somewhere that you could adjust the rate at which rebels appear, but I couldn't find the post anywhere. Could someone please tell me how to do this? I'm sick of 6 unit armies popping up all over my lands and devestating my tiles.

I think, but I'm not certain, that it is adjustable to a certain degree in 1.2 however it is impossible to stop because of hardcoding and I think the EB team already decreased it as much as possible. But hopefully with the move to 1.5 in version 0.8 this won't be a problem any more.

I realy hope that they fix the rebels in 0.8. I think that rebels that popup everywhere is a game killer. But I have nothing against rebel towns who send out troops, only the rebels that just popup..lol
cheers..

RTW1.5, and hence EB0.8, has an adjustable spawn rate.

It's currently set to 15 (I'm sure it was 20 in the original RTW though...). Basically, the higher the value, the lower the chances of bandits appearing. I halved the chances by increasing the value to 30. Ramp it up to 100 though and you'll practically never see them again.

HaHa I found it.
