Getting rid of rebels

[Slug For A Butt]

Quite right Diablo, but I just make the best out of a bad situation and get some crazy high level assassins from any town near a rebel stack. I have had one occassion where I have trained that many assassins up on 1 rebel stack that it vanished eventually.
Like as already been said, they are great for sending low number, high quality units against (Generals, Sherwood archers etc.). They get good experience and some decent Generals.
One question though, does the presence of watchtowers affect the appearance of Rebels?

[Per Ole]

It might seem like it, as you can see more of them when you got them around. Also, rebels like to be a pain in the arse and capture watchtowers

I'm just referring to the old theory from RTW that they may reduce the amount of rebels spawning. Never knew if it was correct or utter b*llsh*t then, and I certainly don't know now either.

IIRC, it was forts that reduced rebels spawning, not the watchtowers. But I don't know if this works in M2TW.
