Here's something that didn't used to happen in earlier versions of the game. Not sure if it's a VIP issue or a Revolutions issue.
Before: When British India is losing, as soon as the enemy controls half of its provinces, the UK takes direct control and ownership of the other half. The enemy is awarded ownership of all the BI provinces it currently controls.
Now: When British India is losing, as soon as the enemy controls half of its provinces, the UK takes direct control and ownership of ALL of BI's provinces, including the ones controlled by the enemy, except for Calcutta. The enemy only gets to keep Calcutta.
This makes no sense logically and I think the event should be changed back. Why? Because the enemy has fought for control of those provinces, in many cases it still has troops on the ground in those provinces, there are no British troops on the ground in those provinces so there is nobody there to impose British ownership. The British Indian government has fled; the only authority is coming from the enemy troops; the UK cannot realistically claim ownership of provinces held by enemy troops when it has no presence in those provinces.
What happens in Calcutta is what should happen in the other provinces. There are enemy troops holding the British Indian capital. When BI ceases to exist, Calcutta remains in the hands of the enemy and ownership of it is transferred to the government directing those troops. This is what should be happening in the rest of enemy-occupied British India, as it was in previous versions.
Otherwise, why is Calcutta a special case? Why does it get awarded to the enemy but the other provinces don't?
