Empire Rebelled!

[The Unknown Guy]

HRE = Holy Roman Empire. The Germans, in the faction selection menu. I think it would be prettier if they were displayed as "The Holy Roman Empire". For that matter, I also think that Italy should be Venice instead, and the Doge ellected if no heirs are present, as in the HRE.

IIRC, I have no idea what it means. In fact, I´ve seen in çuite often, but I simply ignored the term and kept reading.

Constantinople is a cash-monster in Vanilla MTW:VI. Caravel/Cambryses II's pocket mod reduces the trade bloats problem.

Just a quick note on the Ireland Rebellions problem, When I invade I usually Build a Fort, Watch towers, Inn a POrt in that order with about 400 spear men, this seems to curb their rebellius intentions quite well, sorry a little off topic i know.... My game stylee relies very heavily on Loyalty in my provinces so i always aim for 200% I get this by adding a church a Bishop, an inn watch towers the brothel and a Spy and Assassin in every province I have very rarely seen mass rebellions on the scale being descrbed since using this formula.... Oh yeah And Naval superiority also helps I never start a war without being able to crush all ships from Norway to Tripoli... unless I dont start the war that is lol then above formula usually helps a Million

I think you are exaggerating a little, gaijusjulii. 400 men should be enough to keep any province calm. Even Estonia, The Evil Province of Ignorant Liberals and Free-Thinkers will remain loyal as long as you have 400 guys with cheap, pointed sticks there to convince them that your taxation system is just fine.

My experience with the Irish says that it isn´t.

In fact, I lost a huge army composed of spearmen, Royal Knights, and jinetes, because the troops that survived the original assault (which were still a lot) were destroyed by the second one (Ireland=No retreat)

I didn´t even have time to build a port. And in the Pocket Mod, ports are two turns, not 4.

Sorry Innocentius, but I have to disagree with you as well. I've also had major problems with Ireland in the past, although maybe not to the extent that The Unknown Guy has. Heck, even Portugal often forces me to maintain an overly-substantial garrison there -- more that 500 men isn't that uncommon in my campaigns. (For that reason, I often let the Almos exhaust themselves by invading Portugal and putting down the constant rebellions there. )

Now, I do agree that a garrison of 400 troops *should* be enough to keep any province quiet. But is it actually enough in practice? Not always, at least in my experience.

Hmm, that's true in my experience too, although I have had very little of it so it could just be an irregular occurace. The English controlled the whole of France and then they were ex-communicated by his most holiness. At this point most of their provinces had at least one three-quarter stack in them which certainly was over four-hundred men. That very turn the French re-emerged with up to three epic and full stacks in every province in Southern and Eastern France, their reason for this rebellion was due to the English leader's excommunication. The English were almost totally removed from France, losing battle after battle, as they lacked the troops to prevent them from re-taking complete control. This could be an exception, however, so it can't really be considered to be a completely perfect and definitive record.

@Innocentius Your right in the fact that My measures are probably OTT but It works for me so Ill be sticking with it lol. I did forget to mention though I keep the invasion force beefed up until I have acheived what In need to ensure loyalty and then remove the Heavy troops once all of the above are in place, so for a while its a pretty crowded ireland...
