How did Paradox fail to notice this bug with revolutionary client states?

[Question]

It seems that everytime you save/load a game, an extra revolutionary is added infront of a client state's name.

So the revolution really never ends, apparently

How many backup layers of save scumming are you on right now my dude

 

[Question]

I spend a lot of time trying to fix stuff via modding that Paradox doesn't, so I save/load quite often.

Easy: they clearly spend little time playtesting the Revolutionary Age. This is easy to tell by the bugs (like you said), opaque design, lack of information, unbalanced disaster with no rebel threat and how the AI react to being Rev. To say nothing of the fact that becoming a Rev. erases imperialism.

You almost sound surprised of something they have practised for years and reward you with silence or announcements of things that hopefully will draw your attention away from said problems you raised. I mean, it’s a PDX classic move, so...

I fail to see how one would read surprise in what you quoted.

I thought it was sarcasm @ ‘surprised’.

I'm not sure if becoming revolutionary removes imperialism by design or if it's a bug.

The CB is specifically coded to not be available to revolutionary countries. You can check it for yourself in the cb folder.

I'm tempted to make a country called "Revolution" and then trigger this bug a few dozen times.

Trotsky would be proud.

The real question is: were the devs pulling each others legs, ours, or did they thought this was a good idea -- dare I say something to entice players to chose one of the rev. Governments.

 

[Big Bad France]

If anything, it provides incentive to crush the revolution. I just wish the tool tip would say something about it. It's not fun to figure out stuff by trial and error that deep into a campaign.

Revolution No. 9 indeed!
