disappearing missionaries?

[juv95hrn]

I have a question regarding MP missionaries...

Does anyone know what happens if you send a missionary to a province and while that missionary is completing his mission the province revolts and is taken over by revolters? The game then crashes or is saved with the rebels in control of the province.
I know that in general the missionary will try to complete his mission in the background even if you cannot see the icon anymore. The question is wether the save/crash situation makes the game "forget" about the missionary kind of like what happens when you have a colonist on route and the game is saved and the colonist disappears? Or is he still there for the next MP session? Its bad enough to lose a 50-100 ducat colonist this way but to lose a 500 ducat missionary is way worse...
Also it is impossible to not have the game crash in the 5-7 years a missioanry needs to finish his mission or avoid a revolt where in the revolters take control of the province during this time. A pagan province has a 10-15 % revolt risk before conversion.

Hope anyone can answer wether my suspicions are correct or confirm that the missionary does not disappear after a revolt/crash/save situation. Actually my guess is as good as anyones and I belive it does disappear.

Colonists are saved in game, as are missionaries.

When province is lost, missionary disappears from save file, but due to what I suspect is a bug, he'll still try to convert the province if you haven't (re)loaded the game between the loss of province and the time when he would be finished.

Technically you lost your missionary when you lost control of the province, so look at it as getting a free 500 (or 2500) ducat missionary when you manage to play for long enough that his time is up.

Pagan provinces have 0% revolt risk before conversion if you are not at war and stab +3.

Sometimes you get a bug giving you +11 instead of +1 for pagans, there is a thread somewhere on how to fix it, but I sadly don't have time to search for it right now, but I am sure that someone else will help you

I have read somewhere that the missionary continuing his work eventhough revolt has occured is not a bug? The motivation was that all that money and time spent on an effort wouldn't be destroyed by one short revolt. Anyhow, I got the 11% bug and with it its impossible to lose the province to revolt in 7 years thereby making it impossible to convert the province and get rid of the 11% revolt risk. Missionaries nomally continue their job but what happens in combination with the crash/save situation? An MP game session rarley goes on the period needed to finish a missionary mission without a save/crash.

More annoying is that a missionary will still continue his work after a province is converted.

This occurs when you have two missionaries working at the same time and the first one is successful (because of the bug above), or when the religion of the province is changed via event.
