Rebels In Friendly Territory Acting Very Friendly

While in a war, a stack of enemy troops besieged one of my provinces. Shortly after, before winning the siege, I saw a message that the province had been lost to rebels (rebels had taken over.) However, what I saw was no rebels, the enemy stack in retreat, and that I had control of the province.

Yokozar....

It sounds as tho they actually recovered a province that had been taken from you. Rebels which pop up against the nation which is holding one of your provinces return it to your control, when they successfully seige. Ordinarily, though, they then just disappear.

So....... if the seige was very near completion and THEN rebels popped up, defeated the enemy force, and then took up the seige, they could have successfully completed it and dissappeared, leaving only the retreating enemy forces. There's a lot of speculation there, but it could have occured that way..hehe

They were simply partisans for your country.

But weren't they triggered by my revolt risk?

Suppose I'm playing as a single province minor, and want to defend my country. Whenever an enemy besieges my province, should I do everything I can to act like a total jerk and provoke revolts so they will liberate my province?

Yes! That's an ingenious exploit originally discovered in EU1 by Errant One.

We had a thread a while back about how revolt risk should be determined by the controller, rather than the owner. It was inconsistent to have religious revolt from one player's stats and then cultural revolt from another.

If this is truly not a bug then I believe that revolt risk should be determined by the besieger (whoever would win the province after the siege) if the province is controlled by a different player.
