Yesterday i was playing as Julii, just defeated the Gauls. The germans still owned 7 towns, as i was getting ready to go and slaughter them something strange happened. In 1 turn the rebels took over the 7 germanic towns, of course this ill make my campaign a lot easier but its very strange a big faction like germany gets wiped out in 1 turn.
Has anyone else experienced these problems?
Looks like they lost all remaining family member and the faction was divided in rebel armies.
Sounds as if the King was either infertile or his preferences halted any heirs popping out or the entire family was wiped out in a battle. I had this rebellion thing with the julii i think but it was early in the game and they only had 5 territories.
In my most recent Carthaginian campaign the Julii, Scipii, and at least one other faction went rebel without warning all within a few moves. I suspect that they were suffering from being short of heirs as well as having low public order due to increasing population. I think a revolt in their cities finished them, but I wasn't checking their city stats before they abruptly disappeared. Perhaps the Senate had something to do with the Roman factions demise. I had clobbered their armies so many times that I had not seen any for several turns...just tons of boats. I doubt they had ever fulfilled any Senate missions.
Perhaps its faction related, in my campaign as the germans i am running low on heirs also, they just wont produce.
I heard that it happened in Russia 1917 where a faction was wiped out by rebels..... ~;)
On a related note:
Do provinces that have had an uprising always become 'Rebel' or can they rejoin a faction that they were recently captured from?
In one game I had driven the Dacians back to a single province and wanted to create a buffer of 2 rebel territories in between us. I set the 2 ex-Dacian provinces I had just captured up for an uprising and reduced their garrisons to a skeleton crew. The next turn, both had revolted, one had gone Rebel while the other had gone back to Dacia.
