Active rebels..................

ok in my mod there is only gonna be nine factions which only control 12 out of 65 regions
I want to make the rebels active and aggressive
(and therefore make Alliances more important)
thank you

Two key files will make the difference here:

1. descr_rebel_factions in the data folder.

rebel_type Livonian_Rebels
category peasant_revolt
chance 3 (change to 6 or more which was the RTW default)
description Livonian_Rebels

Change the numer 3 to a higher value, the higher the more chance that region will have rebels appear

2. In the descr_strat file in the campain folder, you need to decreasethe brigand spawn value

marian_reforms_disabled
rebelling_characters_active
gladiator_uprising_disabled
night_battles_enabled
show_date_as_turns
brigand_spawn_value 60 decrease to about 10
pirate_spawn_value 100
free_upkeep_forts 2

For further enhancements to rebel activity, you could actually assign them a proper AI in the descr_campaign_ai_db file. Do this by simply copying and pasting an existing AI value over the SLAVE area below:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/ SLAVE FACTION AI PARAMS. THEY DON'T REALLY DO ANYTHING //
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
-->

<faction_ai_label name="slave_faction">

<invasion_decisions>

<decision_entry>

</decision_entry>

</invasion_decisions>

<defend_decisions>

<decision_entry>

<faction_attitude defense="defend_fortified"/>
</decision_entry>

</defend_decisions>

</faction_ai_label>

Finally, in the descr_campaign_db find this line:

<min_turn_keep_rebel_garrison int="999"/>

and lower this value, which will have the rebels leaving their cities to fight you.

All those will help make active rebels and harder. Hope this helps
