Some general tips that work for me:
- Keep happiness around or over 120%, then still can AND do rebel even if its above 100%
- A priest in every province goes a loooooooooog way in keeping the happiness up.
- High taxes DO come at a price, the higher you set them, the more it seems your govenor gets bad traits (brigand, "unofficial" trader, Dominant trader, etc)
- Have only a few provinces set up to be your main unit producers, and have an eye towards provinces that give valor bonuses to certain unit types (Trebizond and trebizond archers)
- This comes into play late game, but its a HARD lesson to learn. Late in the game, if your king if in any way becomes unavailable (captured, cut off on an island) loyalty rates will most likely PLUMMET, leaving you with 60+ revolts and faction returns). So either make sure you dont send your king to an island or a battle he can't win. (Late game I just sit his ass in the capital, as you usually have plently of units and 1 more doesnt matter terribly much)
- Some VERY helpful key shortcuts: hold shift to get a color code of each provinces happiness, hold V to shade the seas in the same manner (green = good, you own, yellow = another present, but travel still possible, red = enemy ship, cannot go through) and then X and C cycle through various displays, showing and hiding buildings, people, armies, etc etc.
- If your bag is the battles, then ask someone else, cause I play the game for the overmap (unless its something rediculous like 2000 on 200).
