Rebels Popping up

**OverwatchX** · June 10, 2009, 07:54 PM

Can someone point me to a thread or data where I can read about rebel armys (nearly full stacks) popping up in my regions after Ive assumed control of the area and why they are coming in so frequently? I am playing Ireland and have the whole island and all of the cities and forts. Still, from time to time, large rebel armies sprout up and arent coming by sea. How do I fix this? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I'm assuming all your cities have green faces?

Build guard towers, they wont bother you after, and then you can kill the rebels... easy

That's not true, I have built guard towers all over my territory and my capital is being sieged by a nearly full rebel stack... Just two turns before the plague of 1247 arrives!! I have green faces all over my lands, so it is some random factor too...

By 1246 you should have enough military power to kill any rebel stack.

Of course, but if they siege me and I can't move my king to Santiago de Compostela... He will maybe die by plague. Santiago is not affected by the plague, you know, I always gather all my family members (the true ones) there, when the plague arrives. ^^

Just kill the rebels problem solved. Family members that are in towns/castles during the plague I let them stay there. It's saffer, I think

but my military campaigns continue with the ones already fighting.

Mate, The 'Offends the Nobility' Stacks don't care about watch towers.... They are out for blood

I have lost a campaign by leaving family in cities during the plague, 10+ family died in 5 turns - game over

After discovering the reason why my kings were not taking the crown while being in the capital I have never had again another "offends the nobility" trait. That max amount of eight ancillaries was preventing my kings to be crowned and to gain enough authority to avoid civil war. Now I always give one ancillary to another family member before taking the crown.

Does the offends the nobility trait have anything to do with creating those large rebel stacks? To me, figuring out how to keep large rebel stacks from popping up when I have the whole area with forts, guard towers everywhere and happy people (I think) abound is ruining the DLV experience for me. All I want to know is what I am doing wrong. If someone can point me in the right direction like, "Make sure you...." or "Don't do this...", etc etc or, "Read this..." Id do it. But now, I cant expand beyond Ireland like I want to because of these huge stacks that pop up with 5 star or more rebel generals. I can usually kick their arses but get kinda bored having fight them over and over and over again.
