    I'm in a Citadel (can't adjust tax rate) with a decent garrison so there really shouldn't be any problems. If there are, then show no mercy to the rioters (both sides).

    Geez, I don't like the wording on the options.

    I voted appeal to the loyalty. But, Matthias is at base law and order. If there is rioting, or plots, he will clamp down, no matter who does it. Rule of Law. He will ask for the trust of those he rules, trust him to get them through the dark times. Hopefully he has enough good will left from his Chancellorship to pull this off.

    No, I've tried to make the options equally applicable whichever side of the unification issue your character is on.

    As for the wording - people should just pick one that sounds most in character. If they don't, I'll randomly assign one to their avatar and the outcome will likely be worse. All will become clear in less than 48 hours.

    Oh I definitely picked. Jan's a number 4 kind of guy. We'll see how it goes.

    Looking at all three polls, I have a feeling that if someone voted yes on Kaiser confidence, but pro-Luther, then they might have a pretty peaceful settlement.

    Taxes on VH alone won't cause too many settlements (except the overpopulated and undergarrisoned cities which are far from the capital) to riot. You modding the settlement mechanics file too?

    As for how Hans would deal with it. Draconian I suppose. He's already been persecuting Lutherans in Swabia (and given orders for all to do so) for several years with no problems.

    [edit]
    Another thought on success chance would be to include the governor's (or rather the count of the settlement's even if he is not currently in) traits in the calculation. I.e. a poor administrator is more likely to cause more troubles. Similarly, a publically loved general may have good chances of quelling the masses.

    Well, if you want a sneak peak of the report for 1308, we have riots in:

    Paris, Budapest, Damascus, Bruges, Antioch, Edessa, Rheims, Stettin, Prague, Venice, Hamburg, Vienna and Dijon.

    I suspect the Reich could implode in a few turns of VH taxes.

    Don't worry, I am not going to do this. The riots for 1308 are more transitory - they represent a kind of Rwanda 1994 reaction to the assassination of the Head of State. But they will continue unless governors can quell them.
