rebel scum

[Sesqui]

My impulse is to send in an army. And this works.

But I don't want to kill my factory workers and resource gatherers. Is there a more effective way of dealing with rebels?

 

[Orm]

If you use cavalry you will often break the rebel morale before they're completely destroyed.

Well, you could just follow them around until attrition wipes them out. Let them take a province and when they move out, move back in and take it and just go that way. You won't lose a single person.

 

[Lord Raglan]

is this game like EU where having rebels at large will encourage more rebels?

 

[Andrelvis]

Not really. Actually, because of the game engine, rebels actually decrease militancy in the province they are (!), because troops in a province count as stationed troops.

hello,

your crime-fighting spending modifies how much rebel soldiers are in a spawned pack. so set it high.

also if you want to wipe them out with minimal losses attack them when they are "on the move" from one province into another. they vanish after 1 day of battle no matter how many they are and no matter how much soldiers you used to attack them. (wait in an near province until they converted the one they are actually in ~95%. then start attacking them. this way you catch them on-the-move).
