Happy Roman Players,
As I help the Team test possible fixes and whilst they do not endorse 'hot fixes'
per se, there is a relatively simple 'edit' that any of you should be able to do that should disable the 2nd Rebellion - and keep your .sav's compatible/allow you to simply continue.
Whether you're playing a 0turn (in the 'Play_Rome' folder) or, like all mine, playing 1turn (in the 'Play_Rome_One_Turn' folder); in the /data sub-folder, you will find a text file called:
'export_descr_character_traits' - I'm sure many of you are familiar with it.
Make a back-up copy, then...
Open this with Notepad (or similar) and 'Find' (Ctrl-F) the following Trait Trigger:
;------------------------------------------
Trigger Caesar_Rebellion1
WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
Condition FactionType romans_brutii
and IsFactionLeader
and not Trait HouseCaesar = 1
and not Trait Dictator > 0
and I_NumberOfSettlements romans_brutii >= 85
and I_TurnNumber > 2
Affects Caesar_Rebellion 1 Chance 5
;------------------------------------------;
For interest, you will note that there is a 5% chance that this will trigger every turn after you gain 85 Settlements. To simply disable it - change/edit the number '85' to '
198' and the rebellion should no longer occur (Note: there are 199 Settlements, but you are not supposed to capture the Free People's (SW corner) or Gotland, the Rebels Home).
Because you are not changing the structure of the file, this will be .sav-compatible.
As an aside - it is possible that a player may never get the rebellion (capturing 130 settlements) - but only in 1:100 campaigns.
Please note: this is a personal post, I'm just a serious play-tester for the Team and they take no responsibility for any sub-mods (which effectively this is). Take care when editing the file and you should have no problems, however.
