Third Servile War

[Searry]

This massive rebellion in Italy really got out of hand even though I chased Spartacus to hell and back. Loyalties in Italy, Sicily and Gallia Cisalpina are totally for Slaves though in Rome 67% still support the old order. So my question is how to end this? I've killed hundreds of thousands of them and I haven't seen Spartacus in ages. I think I captured in a siege assault at some point. So what am I supposed to do? Should I garrison every city with those provincial legions or is there any legit way to end the war? The event which says that the revolt expands still triggers sometimes but it doesn't make any sense. Who would want to join a failed revolt which has caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands? Also there isn't any way to raise the loyalties back to a normal level.

I've been playing that scenario a bunch, and I don't know what triggered your loyalty shift exactly but....The key to playing the romans it seems is not letting the slaves control any regions (for any longer that absolutely possible), especially those with depots or cities. Battles are of secondary importance and in the early on, should be avoided, unless crucial to win back a fallen structure.
kick the slaves out of all holdings and build all the urban militia and put them everywhere you think the slaves want to occupy. That will stop the revolt from spreading and keep their insanely tough galdiator cohorts from replenishing so you can kill them en masse when legions show up.

I forgot to mention I was playing the Mithridatic war scenario!

I've had a loyalty collapse as the Populares in Marius vs Sulla. It happened just in the Italia Penninsula grand region. It's happened just in the last turn or 3. I'm going to go back and see if I can figure out what triggered it.

Ok. It's because when you have high morale, you can't use propaganda or games options. The AI used them often. They take away all the loyalty and I can't do anything about it because of high morale. Perhaps a loyalty counter option that doesn't have NM restrictions is needed?
