revolts

[Osteles]

how can i prevetn them, because it is seriously troubling my expansionist policy

and how must i install new scenarios, because when i download them, unzipp and place em in my scenarios folder, start up the game, click on that scenario, my pc tells there's been an error so i cannot strat the scenario and the game shuts down

Enter one of your revolting provinces (not currently under siege) and check the province information window. (Press the church/totem pole/whatever)

Let your mouse pointer hover above the revolt risk percentage value and it will show a breakdown into factors.

If you have taken that province within the last thirty years (and it's not a pagan religion province) you will suffer nationalism of 1-3 % revolt risk, that is also a minimum revolt risk. This cannot be affected, but it will end.

Having wrong culture (not having provinces culture as a state culture) can't be changed either (some exceptions, but only through historical events). This is +1 revolt risk, +2 if you are at war.

Having built tax-gatherers gives +3 and is not something you want to do in a province if you are going really expansionistic. It should anyhow be preferred only in provinces with religions you tolerate since it is such a large boost. This can't be changed either, but it can be reduced by 1 (to +2) by building a law council in the province when you reach infrastructure level 5.

Stability is an easy issue, stab -3 equals +1 revolt risk, then every increase in stab reduces revolt risk by one until +3 stab equals -5 revolt risk. So keeping a high stability is good .

And finally, the real crimp in expansionistic policies. Religion.
Press your shield in the top left corner of the screen and you'll see your kings name and statistics in the small screen to the left. Press the shield that contains the religious symbol (some sort of cross if you are christian, some crescent if you are moslem etc)
Now you will have reached the 'religious slider page' Here you move the sliders for those (that) religion you have least represented in your kingdom to the far left. In exchange your other religions move to the right, decreasing revolt risk in those provinces. Fiddle around with these sliders until you get the hang of them. Just remember that changes only take effect when you leave the mini-window, and that every time you leave that mini-window you get a revolt check in all provinces

Did I forget anything (important)?

well, if you build a manufactory, you get a -1 RR in that province, and your RR can also be influenced by events increasing or decreasing revolt risk.

to install a new scenario, you have to make sure that you put everything in the right folder, and if you still have an error message, that means that the scenario is corrupt and there's nothing you can do about it. but most work fine.

Infra5 Is govenors not judges.

A good way to minimize the RR is to expand slowly and only have some provinces with nationalistic RR. And ofcourse try to convert the heretics and if possible only conquer provinces with your own culture. If you convert a pagan province it will get your culture and religion.

thank you very much all, i will try to do all this stuff, and if it succeeds the byzantine empire will become dominant once again
