Turn 51 rebel invasion

[dajarvi]

I'm playing as the Roman Empire (Byzantium), and after turn 51 (patched) there are suddenly stacks of rebels besieging four of my cities--and they're lead by generals! Is this a glitch or is it programmed?

That's the Bulgarian uprising.
It's scripted to attack Sofia, Scopia and Adrianople.
Edit: The whole of the script:

Bulgarian Uprising!! When I first I encountered it, I had just won a heroic victory against the Hungarians. So I was very disappointed and deleted the whole script for the Bulgarian Uprising. Then I tried to crush the rebellions. After a few turns, my wounds are healed because they are just skirmishing forces combined with a few heavy cavalry. You can crush them easily. BTW, I was on M/M with SavageAI.

I assume you're roman? then yes it's quite easy because of their economy and units strength

but if you're facing them as venice, hungary or cumans then it's actually tough because you would have already in bloody and money consuming wars with the roman

I always go for an alliance with the Romans when playing EE with Hungary It's rather hard to survive an early war with them.

i like the bulgarian invasion in the EE campaign.
