NOT A BUG: Conquered province and revolt risk

Conquered province and revolt risk

If you conquer a province, shouldn’t change the revolt risk stats to yours AS SOON AS you conquer it? (By “conquered” I mean the situation holding the prov while at war)

We had this situation very often in our MP campaign where long PvP wars are quite common: The loosing player just sits back and waits for HIS increasing revolt risk producing rebel armies in the provinces CONQUERED BY HIS ENEMY.

So high revolt risk and war attrition actually HELP countries which have lost many provinces to the enemy and thus encurrages the beaten player to just hold on and wait.

True...

In fact Sean9898 (I think) posted a brilliant strategy of exploiting this situation.

But, consider that the conqueror is administering territory that he has no right to. Naturally, patriotic types will rise in revolt at some time to try to restore the legitimate rule...

Agreed, SM, sounds like a perfectly valid tactic to me. Kind of guerilla warfare.

mmh, I havent seen it that way - but I like your explanation.

However, if you consider the situation where you have reconquered core provinces producing rebels all the time you just wonder...

 

[State Machine]

Ah... That would be where the patriots are happy as they are and don't accept your claim for their homes. They prefer the current scoundrel to you.
