It says cost based of "several factors", what are they? It seems to be larger the city larger cost, obvious it would be but nice to know what exactly.

I vaguely recall size, proximity to capital, and number of military units stationed there as being factors, but this could be C:CtP, could be an incomplete list, and I don't know what kind of priorities or severity those factors have.

Checking the source, its the sum of:

- The total gold that the city owner has.
- The city pop times a number in Const.txt
- An extra lump sum if its the capitol (set in const.txt)
- A function of the distance from the capitol. The function is:

A/(1-(d/B))

Where A and B are specified in const.txt, and d is the distance to the capitol.

... So happiness is irrelevant, despite what the GL entry says.

Thats another one revealed.

You can see in some ways why theres so much gold floating around, perhaps they expected all these stealth attacks to be quite popular, as opposed to building only military and very few stealth units for defence.

Now this is exactly why I wanted to rewrite the manual now the source code is out. This sort of info should be available to everyone...

Could we not create a formula which included happiness? It seems to me logical that an unhappy city would be cheaper to cause revolt than a happy one

Yes, that would make sense. A happy city should have less chance of revolting, while causing a rioting city to revolt should be really easy - after all, if they're rioting, they're unhappy with their government.
