Rebellious Areas

[dvk901]

I would like a compiled list of 'rebellious regions' here....by which I mean, any region that gave it's conquerers trouble, whether Roman, Seleucid or whatever.

I'm looking to configure a more realistic 'atmosphere' on the campaign map from the start, with some regions that may be recently controlled Roman regions, for instance, that are 'marginally' under control, or eastern regions of the Seelucids that are 'hotbeds for revolt'. The idea being to force the player or AI to heavily garrison a city\town in order to keep it under control.

There will be ways to offset this in time, by building your own barracks, etc.
But you guys may know of places that were NEVER happy with foreign domination...so I'm looking for suggestions.

Judea

Yes judia!
Which means you will need a few units from Judia!
It was one of the most major events in the first Cent.

Typically, mountainous areas are harder to pacify because they offer lots of hiding places and tend to be more fractionalized socially. The mountainous parts of Spain for example (which are still rebelling against the government). Scotland (which is still rebelling against the government...) Caucasia (which is still....)

Areas that Rome had real trouble with included Cantabria, Caledonia (Scotland), Germany east of the Elbe, Dacia, and Illyria.

Armenia was always tough to control, as were many of the neighboring peoples in that rough area including the Kurds, the Colchians and the Iberians. Pound for pound, that area should probably be one of the most difficult on the map to pacify.

Armenia was never fully conquered in this time period (with the exception of 115-117) so it should be hard to control for every other nation. The northern Caucasus were also tough to take as well, ony nomads should be able to take it. Seleucia (the city) actually was very independent even after the Parthians overran Mesopotamia and the Parthians never dared attack it. It wasn't until King Tigranes II besieged and destroyed the last of the Seleucids that it was fully pacified, so Seleucia could be rebellious to Parthia and Rome but not Armenia....

North and north western Iberia, and Germania. On the opposite scale, Gaul should be happy, after Vercingetorix there was no rebellions at all, and Vercingetorix was more like a defender not a rebel.
