Neat!

[Octavian]

I was playing Prussia and I was at war with the French, the French took my province of Munster and then left the province. As I was about to lay siege to Munster a rebellion broke out and the rebels began laying siege to Munster. As Munster succumbed to the rebels it reverted back into my control and the rebel army disappeared.

I don't know if it was a bug or a feature, but it was neat, especially since I was losing or at least not winning the war

will they have good bugs in the american version too? hehe

I suppose this could be interpreted as a local uprising against the French invaders, something that should certainly be possible. I think this would count as a 'feature' rather than a bug, because they must be rebelling against the controlling power of the province, in this case the French who probably gave the province a significant revolt risk due to religious intolerance and perhaps stability.

Hmm.... Maybe you already have the nationalism patch ;-)

This seems to be a clear expression of nationalism for the old masters.....

It's realistic in my view and I really hope it's not a bug.....

Playing France now so I will be careful with Munster ;-)

It actually intended design

Rebels against enemy controller are considered partisans.

Ahh, one of those 'it´s not a bug, it´s a feature?'

Good one Johan!

 

[Hartmann]

But it´s really a feature, and quite plausible to boot, don´t You think?

If you are a Major nation (I.E you cant be annexed) you can use this against attacking nations.

In one of my first games Russia had more or less occupied all of sweden and I refused to give them (russia) the 3 provinces they demanded in our peace talks.
I waited 8-9 months and half of the russian-occupied provinces started to rebel and then went over to me again.
I then asked Russia for peace only giving them 1 province and they agreed.

Its good to have such loyal subjects

I think Moody brings up an interesting point with his tactic. If you conquer a major power, and of course cant annex it, then how will you ever be able to hold it for an extended period of time without sucking all of your resources dry?

Hail Huszics,

I think that if this game is meant to be 'global domination' then you should be able to take it over.I understand the problems with another countries' culture , religion , and such things,but I don't think the 'code' is written to where one should not have an advantage over a mojor power if one earns it... IMHO

i agree with Xanadu, if all you have to do to thwart invasion is to sit back and watch your people rebel, it takes some fun out of the game, IMHO. yes, it should be somewhat difficult to hold foreign provinces, at least in the beginning, but they should gradually (over the course of about 2-3 years) accept your rule enough to not rebel. just my 2 cents

 

[unmerged(703)]

I guess I will soon know if I can take over a main power or not. In my first game as French, England is in a very bad shape....

If I take Angelica (London, I guess ;-), and England have nothing left (more than a few trade stations and colonies, I can not get this province ???

If that is the case I better start drafting more troops to keep them in line.......

Well sometimes it works the other way around http://www.europa-universalis.com/forums/Forum1/HTML/001154.html

 

[unmerged(658)]

yeah, i guess revolts results could go either way, neat way to get provinces though, just let the other country rebel

Indeed by a wicked player this can be used to produce some odd results (I tested this issue intensively a few days ago). In fact You can MAKE the rebels spring up by adjusting the religion sliders. This is also an issue concerning multiplayer.

A bug in the right place is a feature.

But seriously: I think it is a feature.

[Lubricus]

On that note, can you start a new campaign with only one major power?

 

[unmerged(658)]

what hartmann said a few posts up, that you can control the rebellions in provinces you have lost to the enemy by adjusting the religion slider, IMO needs to be fixed. Not so much in single player games, where cheap tactics like that only hurt the players game experiene, but for multiplayer, as tactics like that could turn wars between human players into simply invade, enemy adjust slider, all controlled provinces rebel, then enemy invades, you adjust slider, all your provinces rebel against enemy. It could take a lot of fun out of a multiplayer game. oh yeah, and how can i add a signature, ive already registered and i dont see how to add one after the fact
