Endless revolts

[gigimarshall]

Is anyone else getting caught in an endless cycle of revolt due to war exhaustion, fight the revolt, more war exhaustion, new revolt!

people seem to have trouble when they end up in a revolt spiral. I myself haven't had a single revolt in 100 years as sparta.

yep 1 tough war and it's basically game over. it's impossible to recover once WE gets high enough to cause civil wars

nope it's any faction. WE gets high, civil war happens then you end up with even more WE and a year later another civil war. you get zero chance to reduce WE

with the insane attrition in this game it's kinda hard not to. you only need to get high enough to spark a single civil war and it's all over from there

I dont seem to have a problem as sparta conquering alot. So i dont know what to tell you. Didnt even need to spend mana on lowering WE.

You need to conquer in your own culture and religious groups before going after cultures and religions that aren't your own. If 20% or more of your population is in a disloyal province, then you have revolts. Same culture is easy to keep happy. Convert them to your primary culture so you never have to worry about them. Once you have a Large base of your own culture that will never become disloyal, then attack into other cultures and religions because the ratio of disloyal pops you can eat up is easier for your nation to handle. I have like 8 disloyal provinces right now but it's less than 10% of my total population, and I'm at like 70 ae. I'm taking like 800 pops in each war, huge swaths of land, because I have large numbers of pops happy. By the time I'm anywhere near hitting that 20% where I'm going to have revolts. The disloyal provinces have become loyal because I set the governors to culture convert their butts.

Do NOT conquer outside of your own culture group in the early game unless you are already relatively big and are only taking a nibble. If you have 1k pops and add 250 through one war, you will get a big rebellion.
