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"?
