Well, take a look at this thread on TWC and see how you interpret question 16: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=225857

I took that to mean the game is over (similar to if you were conquered).

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen what happens when you get conquered in any TW game.

Edit: it's the long first post in the thread.

Does this uprising get fought out on the battlefield? or is it more or less a "roll the dice how is your luck?" type scenario? If it's something fought out on the battlefield, that should be an interesting experience if it's more or less against my own troops, as I generally like to play with heavily modified units.

Though, I just got a wavelength. If you actually turned into a republic, isn't it impossible to go back to a Monarchy in the games mechanics? As if the population is unhappy, they just elect a new leader.

I'm pretty sure CA said that the Upper class can revolt and try and put a King on the throne. Upper class revolts get better quality troops but there are less of them.

It's definitely fought on the battlefield, a rebel stack or two will spawn near your capital and attempt to take it.

I wouldn't call it a "rebel" stack, as that sounds disastrously like the old Rebel faction of previous TW games. Rather, let's dub them the stack(s) of heroic revolutionaries!

Stacks of foul bumbling pesants trying to overthrow their betters more like! Back in your places!

What's to stop us from joining the rebels we don't support and just run away or otherwise act really incompetent, IF we're that... um... creative? I mean if there really is no other penalty, you might even lose less of "your" troops that way :p

So you are saying we should just charge right across the loyalists mine field sir? Are you sure thats a good idea? You are? Well... ok I guess.

Boom!
