Unrest

[atraps]

why is there so much unrest in settlements, especially in settlements in southern Africa (im playing as the Ptolemaics)

at first i wasnt worried because the unrest usually disappears after awhile, but after many turns its still there

[Kara Kolyo]

Because of the different culture - the ptolemaics are western civilised, while some of the settlements are eastern. You should build colonies and buildings that change the population culture

[atraps]

i did, all of my southern African provinces are western civilized

here is a pic of what im talking about



In vanilla unrest comes when you conquer a province, but it goes away after a few turns. This province has been captured a long time ago, and the unrest is still there...

is this a feature of XGM?

[TM Is Back]

And they are all western culture for 100%?

[Scutarii]

Thats odd.... Do revolts keep happening? They might add to unrest.

[TM Is Back]

Nevermind my last post...

I think there might be spies in the cities... spies add huge unrest.

No, riots and revolts havent happened, because i lower the tax rate so they are happy

Thats impossible there is no faction near those cities.
Here is a map pic.


The provinces that have alot of unrest are in the red box. As you can see no factions border them...

[TM Is Back]

No but there have been factions there. Those eastern kingdoms built many spies.

[atraps]

those spies would of died of old age

i conquered those regions a long time ago

[DimeBagHo]

Some regions have a minimum level of unrest because the natives were historically very rebellious.

[CaesarVincens]

How does one set a minimum level of unrest, Dime? What file holds this magic?

[synthesis]

Yeah, that's what I figured. The Arabian regions are really hard to hold down too. It's a riot trying to watch the Seleucids try. That is, when you're not playing as them.

[DimeBagHo]

CaesarVincens: IIRC it's descr_rebel_factions.txt. The chance line determines the unrest.

[CaesarVincens]

Thanks, that is useful to know.

yeah I dont like all the unrest I experinced here to, its very historical and kool all the same but I think with the right movements it should be able to get reduced and change history lol.

s for numerous speis, how does one discover them easily? Building lots of your own spies?

Yes, and then after you've discovered them, kill them with assassins.

I always have atleast 3 spies and 1 or 2 assassins with my invasion armies. Spies for in the army( to prevent assassination of my generals) and when i want to siege a city place them into the city.

[atraps]

thx for explaining this, Dime

it helps alot

there are so many secrets in XGM...

[Spartan Guard Itachi]

Atraps, where is Parthia gone in your campaign? :hmmm:

[EyebrowsMulligan]

Atraps, where is Parthia gone in your campaign? :hmmm:

Not only that...but look at Iberia go!

What version are you playing atraps? I know that no 2 campaigns will necessarily be the same, but still, I'm amazed at how different yours has worked out to mine.

Atraps, where is Parthia gone in your campaign? :hmmm:

It's dead. It just died off without becoming a horde, so im not sure wat happened, my best guess is it ran out of family members...

Not only that...but look at Iberia go!

Yes Iberia has been do pretty good but Carthage has been giving it quite some trouble.

Man the Seleucid empire is very strong, it keeps on throwing stack after stack at me, even though the difficulty is easy. (on the campaign)

Baktria is doing good as well, but if i dont start chipping away at TSE its gonna get swallowed by TSE

My biggest disappointment is Rome...its puny

p.s. im playing version 5.6.7
