That is not the intention. We have been talking at cross purposes throughout.
I know it was not intentional, but you worded your comment like it was fact. I don't think we've been at cross purposes...I presented a solution to the problem of unrest, which you don't care for. That's perfectly fine. Again, it's a game, and we presumably play to have fun, so have fun with it.

And yes, a more substantial garrison is needed the further one gets from the capital. That's the cost of doing business, so-to-speak. To me, that's the lesser of two evils...having the extra expense of larger garrisons, or constantly having to deal with revolts I make millions of denarii despite the garrison expense, so I'm happy.....

If you want a nuts and bolts look at the effects of garrisons:
