I like the features of 2.0 but this levy system has made rebellions very weak.
All province rebellions will usually have 2k troops which is the minimum a province can have and most of the time they won't have more due to low pops. So say a province rebels against Rome, will the rebellion statistically stand a chance against Rome's 50K army? Never.
Suggestion : Provinces should get a levy bonus for being in a rebellion (The levy multiplier). People want their independence so they should get a bonus because an army of 2k is trash and won't accomplish anything or ever be a threat.
Same thing for Civil wars, they're supposed to be what destroy an Empire but they're just an inconvenience at most because same issue, they will only have an army of 2k levyed from the province. if they have multiple provinces it's 2k per province so maybe an army of 6K at most. This is supposed to be the countries wealthiest and strongest people, they should be using their wealth to buy mercenaries and loyalty from governors and all that and change the tide of war. They also don't have cultural assimilation bonuses unlike the country they're rebelling against. If selekid empire doesn't assimilate their cultures, they only get 2k but once they make the Persian culture citizens, now they have 10K troops they can levy. The civil war faction doesn't have that and so they don't get any levies if they're rebelling in Foreign land.
Suggestion : Civil wars should be amassing an army before the Civil War happens, such as buying mercenaries and troops and the loyalty of generals. Then once the civil war starts they'll have a sizeable force. They should also inherit all the cultural civil rights of the country they're rebelling against.
I like this game but they really need to rework rebellions so they're actually a threat and interesting.
