    Default Half my cities have massive unrest overnight

    It's 150BC in my campaign. Carthage has been destroyed (Carthage delenda est). I hold all of Italy (less Rome), Sicily, all of Africa (less Egypt), all of Spain and parts of Gaul plus Palma and Sardinia. We have sixteen legions in the field.

    Tonight at the change of GT, virtually half the empire went into crazy unrest. Happiness in cities previously content to the tune of 200% went to zero, several inside Italy proper. Many of these cities had governors possessing multiple management scrolls, one with eight. In almost all cases if I took the governor out of the city, it reverted to its previously happy state.

    I was on the verge of saying OK this is a glitch. I'll just load all these jerks onto a prison ship and then if they want to really revolt, I'll just go sink their butts. But then I started looking at my legions and two of those had rebelled. Since my last legion went rogue about twenty years ago, I've been scrupulous about relieving the legate after no more than ten years in command in accordance with a thread I read herein. Neither of these legates was even close to ten years in command; one had four.

    So now I'm thinking this whole incident isn't a glitch at all, but some goofy mechanism that's been planted to "make it more fun"?

    "With a population of around a million, Rome (in Claudius' time) was a vast city even by modern standards. It is worth pointing out that during the early Renaissance the population of Rome was no more than fifteen thousand-- living amid the ruins of a civilization that dwarfed their own. It was not until the nineteenth century that the population of Rome returned to the levels it had enjoyed under the Caesars. That is eloquent proof of the fact that human history is not a tale of steady progress towards greater knowledge and achievement." Simon Scarrow

    I've taken SPQR off my machine. It's a pity; mostly I enjoyed the mod and was looking fwd to playing it out, but this kind of thing is just too aggravating. I could probably have worked around it. Backtrack a GT. Take all the legates out of all the legions for that GT. Do the prison ship thing. But thereafter I'd always be thinking about what inane pop up was coming next.

    See ya.

    Its simple.
    Civil unrest, revolts. What did you expect, everybody peaceful? Sorry to say, but you obviously kind of failed to protect both your borders and inlands at the same time .) well, keep trying!

    jeje, even super heroes had a civil war (Tony Stark vs Captain América)

    It's like start a BI campaign, leave the undefendable regions, and prepare a powerfull comback...

    Nah, keep big garrisons and armies nearby to intervene.

    several inside Italy
    Civil War is coming. A pity that you deleted your game i would have loved to see a picture of the campaign map when the revolt started.

    Civil war is one of the futures of SPQR. It's one of those challenges.

    Lol, So some of you finally got your random rebellions. Dont you love em? I do..... hehe

    Yes this IS A FEATURE of SPQR mod, Just like in Rome the Emperor didnt always KNOW which units would revolt or WHEN. This adds the fun of BI into SPQR. Basically when it happens just suck it up and fix the problem, if in a foriegn land you may have to come back, after all thats what happened in Rome, they would PULL Legions off the front for Civil wars, hence why the borders had so many raids.

    Hope some of you had fund with it. You really shouldnt try to keep track of your citied unrest all the time, personally its too much micromanagement and causes the game to be unbalanced. I guess SPQR was too hard for some to QUIT. but then its a common trait today with the people, easy fix, fast food, and when the going gets rough you QUIT. lol

    Oh well, sorry it ruined the game for you, lifes a B%tch
