An aspect of the game made even worse by the fact that there are no recruitable generals available so you have no chance of hiring a band of mercenaries to defend the city, and you've got no chance of either moving an army there in time or recruiting a reasonable garrison before the Ptolies or Selecids attacked...

yep, holding many Arabian and Ethiopian lands with a level 4 is pretty impractical since you can't hire anyone, yet they are often too far to send a fm. the palmyra and other revolting garrisons are only good for destroying whatever is in there for the money and taking the revolting garrison on a killing spree in the region, as there is no way possible to hold on to it without great headache and you sure as heck aint gonna be able to send relief across the arabian desert.
tell me about it, "currently" I'm relying on client rulers imported by ship to keep peace in arabia.

hopefully this will be addressed in EBII. Saba has such great potential as a really really fun faction.

They could address it by adding the Nabatu. Those cities would rebel to them, and unlike the Sab'yn, the Nabatu are right next door.

You've already commented on the post that states quite clearly that provinces rebel to the slave faction at all times. Therefore we would not need to include the Nabatu in some fashion to stop this from happening.

Not in Gerrha, Petra, Bostra or Axum because....there aren't any available.

and those are important places. you can get Greeks farther up the Nile, but i guess they didn't want to go down to ethiopia

Oh ok, yea the only one of those cities I've conquered was Axum and I built a type 1 right from the start, so my bad.
