Okay, I've reinstalled the game and the LtC mod but things arent the same as they were before in my original setup. Originally all the rebel towns had no troops. Zero. Also there were no fortresses. Just villages. I had always just assumed this was intentional so the player could expand quickly. I never questioned it. Now after reinstalling (3 times so far) I see that there are now rebel towns, villages, and fortresses with troops in all.

I'm perplexed. Either I had a bad install originally or the install/s I got now is bad? The saves are working so far. I'm able to reload them anyway. I'm playing a short campaign though to fully test it.

In the LtC mod are all the rebel cities supposed to be villages and undefended or are they supposed to be like the unmodded game and be a combo of villages, towns, forts, and defended?

I could use some help here trying to figure out whats what.
