Army defecting

[unmerged(11929)]

In my current game, I have my army defecting to rebels left, right, and centre.

Does anyone know what causes an army to become rebels? Is it low army tech? They seem to have pretty good morale and I can't see that they are unhappy.

What country are you playing? What culture have the mutinous troops? What kind of troops? Ar you at war (a lot)? How is the reliability of your troops? (That's a separate value, nothing to do with morale...)

I didn't know about the reliability value, I'll check when I get back home. It's not culture because the troops have the same culture (although they are stationed in conquered provinces, the troops stationed in my original provinces never defected).

And yes, I'm at war a lot, does that affect the trrops in any way?

If a country defect from you, then the troops originating from those provinces will join them.

Which makes it so in case of the american civil war that the placing of troops is not important, what is important is which province you choosed to create them from.

 

[SykoNurse]

most likely the reliability, look out for leaders influencing that value, some lower it, some raise it

FECK!
In my game as Denmark, I have 2 million troops from Africa.
Damn I better not let Africa go then

Funny thing, they have the same reliability rating as my (native) danish troops!?

2 million troops from Africe?

%¤#!&*+&%!! Danes. First they steal Greenland, Iceland and the Faeroe Islands, and now they have spread their claws over the African continent....

Playing 1.00 are we?

 

[unmerged(16856)]

nope playing 1.01!

conquered the southern part of Sweden (russia got the rest), Norway, kiel and lubeck, northern and eastern Africa, most of the middle east, half of the Ottoman empire, all of Italy, Switzerland, southwestern Austria, and some of southern Germany. And now I've just beaten the s*** out of France :rofl:
My armed forces consist of roughly 3 million men!
Africa is great for manpower

What difficulty level are you on?

 

[unmerged(16856)]

normal/normal, but I have had not had any difficulties at all! (could have taken spain as well, just too lazy to administrate all those extra provinces!)
The AI still needs a lot of work!

 

[SickMonkey]

as a rule of thumb, only the hardest difficulty settings provide any challenge in paradox games...

Wow, didn't know this could happen...

Seems like this colonial manpower is something that should be corrected. The amount you get them should probably be lowered, and you should not be able to use them to man any other kinds of divisions than colonial. I would rather put colonial mp to zero than read about millions of african troops under Danish flag tramping around Europe . But OTOH this happened at normal/normal so this is not too worrisome.

Agree completely with this suggestion. Seems like their should be some quality modifier as well so that your colonial troops are not as effective as your national troops.

 

[TheDarkside]

I too agree with suggestions on colonial manpower being a problem as they march under the guise of home-bred soldiers. They may need to partition the manpower reserve, as I've seen some suggest in other threads. That may be the only solution to enforce colonial manpower gets converted into colonial troops and not home-bred troops.
