Forums / Questions and Answers / Morale in a conquered city

How do I swiftly improve morale so as to not have to re-conquer a given large city each time it revolts? Im trying to rush tavern building with slaves, but the town revolts right before I reach the 16% + morale threshold.

If the city revolt you will lose the troops living in the city. But if you have an army in the city it will not lose troops if the city revolt.

Armies in the city will also help against revolts. You will need 5+ troops (any level) /100 peasants to hinder a revolt.

The only other ploys I know is to cast Happiness which would be very expensive as each cast would only raise the Morale a few points....

And, of course, train the pezz into troops which if it is a large city with lots of pezz would probably not be an option.
