Empire Total War: No More Rebels in Unclaimed Territories

One of the biggest changes that Empire: Total War made to the gameplay experience was for me the complete and utter disappearance of the rebel-controlled territories.

Rome: Total War, with the excellent Europa Barbarorum mod, is still installed on my hard drive and getting plenty of my limited play time.
