BUG: NEW: Revolters capitals no always correct?

Revolters capitals no always correct?

I noticed this going through saved games under 1.04... revolting nations don't seem to honor their "capital" line. For instance, I have a Burgundy that revolted with Franche-Comte (387) and Bourgogne (409), only their capital wound up in the former rather than the latter as it should.

Theory: the independence routine goes through the provinces list to see who has been revolting for X number of years. This routine goes through them numerically, so 387 came up first. Then the check was made to see that 409 was in revolt as well and thus Burgundy could be formed. Since 387 was listed first, it wound up as the capital.

Alternative theory: the same as before, only 387 was chosen because it was first in the controlled provinces line for the rebels in the saved game file (which it was), rather than the routine doing a numeric sort.

I believe they are raodnomly assigned.

I had a Crimea that gained gained Azow, Crimea, Kaffa and another province when it revolted. They got their capital in Kaffa, result: greek orthodox state.

I thought this was already reported, but I don't see it. I remember talking about in some thread. My theory is that the first province that "qualifies" to create a revolter gets the capitol. That is, the first province that has been in revolt for the 1 year required to create a new country.

Bug 213 unless someone can find the mystery bug I remember.

Well it kinda makes the capital = line useless in revolt.txt, doesn't it?

You thinking of this one maybe, State? Can't see any other threads or bugs on or close to the topic.

A revolter can take your revolted capital away and you don't get a new one.

No... That's not it. No time to do a proper search. No matter, anyway. If my new bug is a duplicate, it's still known.

Sirbruce - just so. Capital = X doesn't work...

 

[AndrewT]

Done a bug report on it?

 

[AndrewT]

SM ?

Yah, I just haven't sent my recent updates. I didn't find anything in bugzilla, by the way.

I still can't see it in there, have you logged it in Bugzilla yet? If not, send me the details and I'll do it.

 

[State Machine]

Sorry. I got out of the habit of using bugzilla, but with hoi...

Bugzilla report is 2742.

They are not randomly assigned, it is always the lowest province value, probably due to the first theory there. Always, the northern and western most provinces become the capital. How many times have you seen a Portugal owning Tago and Oporto with Oporto as the capital?

I thought the capital allocation generally was in line with the order in which provinces appear in the 'minimum' line; as long as the capital province is the first listed minimum province, and it revolts along with the others, it should also get the capital. Many tests with revolting Crimea and Sibir have given that theory significant support for me - the occurances of correct placements went up after I put the capital province first in the minimum line.

 

[unmerged(3931)]

Yes, okay it is the first theory then. It depends on the order in the minimum line. It's just that you have to edit the minimum line because the default order is lowest numbered province to highest numbered province. I don't edit files; so my revolt capitals end up north and west of where they should be.
