I have experienced something very strange...

I lost Cyprus to a peasant revolt. Too bad I thought, as I could not get to it as my enemies had their ships in the waters around the island. So I lost it.

Then a few rounds later I was asked if I wanted to lead the attack myself against the rebels there... I had 240 men against about 2000 rebels. I thought I had by accident sent a force to attack, but then I saw an Egyptian boat (enemy) in the waters, so I had certainly not moved troops there. Further proof was that I noticed I had 80 Pronoiai Allagion in that force (along with 100 Spearmen and 60 Trebz).... But... But I can't train any Pronoiai Allagion.

So there I had it, a Loyalist uprising in a rebel province.

I won by the way, getting both Skilled Attacker and Skilled Risky Attacks (1 to Command for 2:1 odds). Too bad the general had a bad Vice that counted the other way.

I've had that happen to me lots of times and me thinks its cool because you can win ur province back without training any troops.

Ahhh... ok then.

Since it hadn't happened to me before I thought it was like in STW, rebels forever.

nah, never forever. I unfortnately learned this by trying to use spies to cause rebel uprisings in several places, only to visit them again years later and find that loyalists had cropped up and retaken the land

Yeah Byte... I knew something was wrong, just couldn't put my finger on it. It just looked as if I was talking about Cypress Hill. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Are you sure that it was loyalists and not the rebels going back to the old owners?
