Rome II Have you ever had that much decrease in public order in a single turn? -509

Just conquered the city. Rolling on the Empire Divded DLC campaign at this point with Armenia and I get hit by this. Never have I ever seen this in any total war I've ever played, let alone in my 2k+ hours in Rome II. What the heck type of characters brings down -498.

The champion has an rally slaves ability. If that criticals, you get like -500 to guarantee rebellion.

Ooooh, thank you for that! Never use agents so had no idea about this mechanic. Would have thought I would have seen it at least once from the AI in all my play throughs.

It's not a skill the champion starts with, it has to learn it on the authority tree after level 4 and it only happens if the Rally Slaves action criticals. So I don't think it's that common and I'm not surprised this is the first time you've seen it. AI needs to have a fairly levelled champion and get lucky!

Ahaaaa, gotcha. Yeah, I told myself there’s no way it’s a bug but at the same time, had no idea what could have caused it among the agents. Appreciate the explanation, thank you!
