Good points, but those are easily handled just as Partisans were, as triggered events. A good trigger would be a high
to
ratio and maybe some other influences, like the culture of the city as a whole and the civics of the empire (e.g. nationhood). Easily there are other cases of people just plain rolling over once their army was outmaneuvered, and not annhiliated.


One thing with the entire concept...um..what's the word...ahh...mmm, oh yeah Stalingrad.
The factories were making weapons and sending them directly to the front (about 2 blocks away) (this is why fedex never took off in russia) and there are countless medevil stories abotu cities melting down statues & dishes to create musket/cannonballs to defend the city from an enemy at the gate....the real problem with the badguys on the doorstep of a city is panic, not unhappiness...which would require ripping into the python even more and making a panic factor for city populations
