Rebelion

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Hi Ower,
I believe that difficulty levels effect AI settlement's rebelling threshold. May I ask what difficulty level you are playing on?

WH/M, I know that its harder to get them rebel, but 35% for 5 turns riots and still no rebelion? Thats just crazy.

Thats RTW.

O so it's hardcoded. Suspected something like this, but wanted to by sure.

I remember back in vanilla I was trying to get an AI settlement to rebel. Got it to 0% and about ten years later they had weeded out all of my spies and I'd given up. I've never tried it ever again.

Getting provinces to rebel through spies seemed more effective in the original Medieval: Total War, although a few precautions would kill spies in droves. Being a spy in both Rome and the original Medieval is deathly lethal, especially in EB. However, I've been able to use spies to greater effect in Medieval in fomenting rebellions. It was the general overall byzantine strategy that I had for the Byzantines (pun intended), and would actually pay dividends... unless the province already had watchtowers and stuff. But man, infiltrating settlements in Rome often requires an incredibly experienced spy, and even then, he rarely has more than a 65% chance to survive infiltration. So, I usually only rely on my spies to try to open gates and basically send me information. Besides, spies are too darn expensive for me to throw away like I did in Medieval.
