What causes rebels to spawn?

[Dahoota]

Are there any factors that control whether or not rebels will spawn in your territory? Is it completely random or do unrest levels, religious composition, etc factor into it?

In my current campaign as the Moors I seem to be constantly getting rebels near Marrakesh and Fez, as well as around Aragon which I now control.

This is something that I have been curious about since I first started playing TW games with RTW but never thought to ask. Can anyone point me to a guide or something? I can't find much on it on the TW forums.

Edit this line in descr strat

brigand_spawn_value xxx
pirate_spawn_value xxx

to

brigand_spawn_value 999
pirate_spawn_value 999

for no Rebels or Pirates

I think he was more curious as to what factors affect rebel spawning. For instance, do those two lines only affect the spawning of rebels? If not, then what else affects the spawning of rebels?

I'm curious to discover this myself.

So it's random then?

I'm guessing this isn't save game compatible?

[Ferdiad]

Its not savegame compatible.And what other factors affect rebel spawn, happiness obviously.

This was part of the reason why I asked - in the Moors game Marrakesh had PO around 200% and was still spawning rebel armies like the plague (every 2-5 turns).

so if I wanted more rebels, I set the number to 0? or can it go negative?

0 dunno about negative.
