Making the Rebels aggressive?

Code:

	/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	// SLAVE FACTION AI PARAMS.  THEY DON'T REALLY DO ANYTHING //
	/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

2. Edit the export_descr_buildings.txt so that slaves can build buildings (i.e. add slave into most of the buildings) and train troops (add slave into the units you want them to be able to build)

Nice one! Thanks. Just out of interest, have you done this? If so, what's your thoughts? Is it worth the effort?

If this is implemented well, this can actually make the campaign alot harder since it would make players think twice blitzing and leaving their inner cities nearly unprotected with half stacks of rebel troops roaming about ready to besiege any weak city they encounter

Another question, why should I care about Rebels being around my territory? I always eliminate them but I often see the Computer not doing anything with them. I know they block my movement often but their has to be a better reason to take them out.

The devastation gets you right in the wallet, and, if they're sitting on a road, they block trade as well.

The trade block becomes very significant when they are sitting on the road to your port, as it affects all the seatrade.

It would be nice if this could be made into a self-installing mod for us non-technical types. I would really love to see a "Difficulty" mod come out after the official 1.2 is released that includes a script that gives more money to the AI and active rebels.

I actually finished earlier to set up said aggressive rebels but didn't notice much in my current scot campaign as all territories have been taking by true factions already.
If someone wants, I could email them the files...

Nope haven't actually tried it yet. Not that much time to play these days either, so mainly working on minor moddings. Its easy and quick enough to change though, so try and see if it works :)

I should note that there is no way to make the rebels gain family members/generals btw as thats probably hardcoded in terms of who can get them. You could add general's bodyguard as a recruitable unit to one of the buildings though.
