Rebels as your allies?

The only benefit I see from this is that they will not harm your income when they suddenly appear on your territory. Actually, now that I think about it, they can prove useful as reinforcements in battles and their navies can help you gain control of the sea. Interesting.

Unless the Britons feel like heading for the lands of Gaul instead of Germany, which they almost always do in my game. It's like they've been programmed to attack Germany, I wonder why.

But back to the point, I wouldn't bother with Senate missions unless they either

Promised a reward you really need.
Threatened you with something extremely bad.

Ok fair point. I wondered why the britions always attacked the germans and not gaul. I thought that they (the britions) knew they was weak, and the germans was the biggest threat.

So anyone know what i put under:

so I am guessing that this also does the job and that I just take off the faction I want to be and add faction_relationships romans_scipii, 600 slave somewhere on the list?
