Rebels everywhere!!!

Well I just remembered why my WE was so high,I had raised war taxes... I think that solves it

I'm also playing a ERE game, and I also get big rebel problem.
I think these things affecting this problem most in my game:
1, high Infamy and bad relation with other nations (so they keep sending spies trying to screw me up)
2, high WE
3, low stability (cannot fully recover it to +3 after modernization, bad events keep push it down)

It's not like those rebel can kill me, and I can easily defend myself against any other big blobs. However, the game just become ultra tedious as I can do nothing but rebel hunting for years, and I have to micro-manage it all the time. The auto rebel hunt feature generally won't work as I want it to. For example, my east african army will try to go all the way to Asia minor to hunt the rebel there, while leaving my African province unprotected. It only seems to be helpful when the defeated rebel bouncing around. My vassals help me a bit (I like to create several big vassals), but it is not so reliable either.

I've never got into economy problem with ERE though. (I still have 0 inflation during 1550-ish)

forgot to mention this on my previous post...holy crap that's a lot of old games, but so little posts.

and yeah, war tax...can go out of hands sometimes >.>

I actually did pretty well before Modernization and even after Modernization for quite a while. No WE at all. Infamy is always high, but managable. I usually go bullying the steppes when waiting for my infamy to drop, and when it goes back to a acceptable level, I begin conquest mode again. I picked up those WE during the African conquest. The mountain provinces are the killer, and rebels love to pop up there. Also after a short conflict with the Western Europe, they start sending spies. Of course the high infamy also triggers a lot of events raising revolt risks..........

Basically I know how I got into this little mess, but just feel a little bit annoyed lol. Without the Florentine School, I guess I really have to sit for some years, or decades to fix things up.......

Actually I can also release Ottoman to lower infamy, but I don't really want to give away my core provinces.
