Rebel Spawn Rates

[smitty]

I'm playing an Italian States campaign right now, and sometimes having fun, other times not. One of my biggest complaints is the insane spawn rates of decent rebel armies. I own 7 Italian provinces, and every time I kill a rebel army, 5 turns later a stronger, fresh rebel army spawns again. These are a waste of time (especially considering how rushed these custom campaigns are) and ought be edited out. Is there a way for me to do so without starting a new save game?

No there is not, the rebel spawn rate is specified in descr_strat and that is only read at the start of a campaign.
