How do I cause a Rebellion?

[eyeliner smear]

Epicrotea was taken by the Sturgians and it has 24 loyalty and it's rising.
How do I make the town lose loyalty so it can rebel and I can take it?

If you are filthy rich, you can try to deplete their food stock by buying every food. Eventually, their garrison troops will desert. this will cause low security, and due to low security their loyalty will drop. But in practice, I have no idea if this will work.

I blockaded marunath while vlandia owned it, and the garison wouldn't drop, garrison only drops during siege if they have no food.

Like I said if you buy their every food their food reserve should start to deplete. I didn't try this before so I am not sure.
edit: They don't have to be in a siege to their garrison to desert.

I test it and isn't working I can deplete their food reserve but the garrison does not desert as much as I intended and every time a lord visits they can donate soldiers to the garrison so there is no point in doing that.
Edit: By the way, their loyalty gets -1 from starvation so at least that's something.

it depends on loyalty + security + garrison.

so everything that have a negative impact on this 3 things, can increase the possibility of a rebellion. after some ingame-time and wars, there will always be rebell towns on the map.
