500 Unrest?!!
 

Just captured an indie province with my pretender and noticed the unrest is a whopping 500! I promptly set the tax rate to zero, but I somehow don't expect the province to remain mine for long. It'll revolt before the unrest drops to a reasonable level. What's up with 500 unrest? Is this a bug?

Thanks! Makes sense, and I learned something new. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I don't know why - maybe it's just coincidence - but I seem to find these unrest-generating sites appear disproportionately in provinces with libraries. It's like it's a safeguard to keep Sages from being TOO awesome.

I know it's probably sheer chance, but boy, it just keeps happening.

Why's that a safeguard? It just gives me an excuse to drop taxes and use blood sages to blood search if I feel like it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

BTW, when I searched that province, there was a devil summoning site in it that generates 15 unrest/turn. The devils are worth it.
