How to make a city rebel?

[JWoods]

Is there any surefire way to make an AI controlled city rebel on the first or 2nd turn? I am modding my game so that the WRE/ERE start with only a few cities each. Almost finished but I want to have Alexandria start on turn one as ERE then immediately rebel to the ERE Rebels.

I do not want to mod the ERE Rebel faction at all and do not want a slave city to start with either.

Of course I removed all troops and when I play as the ERE the city ALWAYS rebels but when left to the AI only 50% of the time..

you would have to script or make a building that gives it really bad healh or something so that the city would rebel

You could also add a general who really dislikes you and up the disloyal traits.

Have the same problem, in 1.2 you could just offer all your cities to an enemy/ally but now AI says "sorry but we have nothing in return for you"...

Could any body help here ?

No need to double post. It was only 2 minutes. Maybe you could try and give money too.

The "sure-fire" way would be scripting them to get it. This needs a little scripting experience though.

[Dr Fox]

well compared to some scripts it would b a relativly simple thing to script the only command you need is

provoke_rebellion Alexandria

and then add a loop

script
declare_counter loop
set_counter loop 0

monitor_event FactionTurnStart empire_east
            and I_TurnNumber = 1

if I_SettlementOwner Alexandria = empire_east
provoke_rebellion Alexandria 
end_if
terminate_monitor
end_monitor 

while I_CompareCounter loop = 0
end_while
end_script

and then connect that to an advice thread so then once it is activated if the eastern roman empire owns Alexandria on the 2nd turn then a rebellion is provoked
