Revolution not working?

[anweRU]

Destroy the weaver in Den Haag, build a school, and upgrade it all the way to classical university. That's what I had to do to finally get a counter-revolution.

Alternatively (I would hate to do this), go fight a lot of battles that you will lose. Spam militia in a region that borders an enemy. Go attack some major army with your single militia. Rinse and repeat. War weariness (discontent) will set in pretty quicky, instead of patriotic fervor (happiness) which you get when you win. If you lose multiple such battles per turn, you should get a very unhappy Amsterdam pretty fast.

[Monsieur Alphonse]

Max taxes is usually not enough. Build more then one school and destroy any happiness building. Set the taxes for the lower class to low and to the middle classes as high as possible. Do the usual trick with moving your army away and after three turns of complaints the middle class will revolt. Voilà.

[Prussian to the Iron]

ok, so this:

1. upgrade to highest university i can
2. spam militia attacks at enemy
3. lower poor taxes, raise rich taxes (this is ok since i have 2 other theatres :P)
4. destroy happy buildings
5. exempt other european regions from tax
6. revolt occurs
7. choose rebel side
8. constitutional monarchy

is that right?
