Thread: Question about Revolutions

    Default Question about Revolutions

    From what I've read, a revolution creates revolutionary armies in the capital region and they fight it out with the troops already there. Would it be possible for a revolutionary army to take a different province in the empire or even to take a province from another nation? And could you continue the game with original government and the revolutionary government? And if you could, would they ever be capable of making peace?

    I believe you can, but the nation you rebelled from would never stop attacking you. You have to take the capital to stay alive.

    So I dont think they can make peace. Intersting idea though, havent tried it yet.

    ok, i tested it:

    The rebel army cannot leave the capital region. attemping to will result in an 'X' outside of it, making it impossible to move out.

    i wonder, however, if one could simply side with rebels and then sit there, ravaging the countryside? it would be especially fun as france or spain, with a large region to terrorize.

    As soon as you take control of revolutionary troops you loose control of the faction.

    I had previously thought that you only had a turn or so to regain control. Is it longer?

    So long as you have troops?

    It still seems a risky business to putter around in the region while the loyalist forces can build quicker than you.

    Let us know how it turns out.

    yeah, you would quickly lose, especially if there was a decent garrison in the capitol city.

    i'm pretty sure as long as you have men you can still be rebels. otherwise you would have to attack and take the city in 1 turn.

    Which is usually your best bet if you set it up properly, otherwise you side with the loyalists and exterminate the rebel scum!

    Has anyone found out if you can take another city instead of your capital with a rebel army?

    i already tried: rebel armies, whether player or a.i., cannot go anywhere but the capital region.

    I just thrashed a French rebellion (as U.P.) and the remnants wandered up to the border of my province of Alsace. I wondered if they could have attacked it the next turn?

    I dangled two ungarrisoned carrots for them to take: Flanders and Alsace, both within easy striking distance and marched the army back to Paris as a disincentive for them to go that way. Over the next couple of turns they stayed in France, burned a church and then faded away.

    Looks like you are right about them not leaving their capital region. What about rebellions in other regions? I have had them in Algeria I think because it gets a big religio unrest hit and you can't build a church for ages. I always squish them straight away, but I don't know if they are unable to leave the province.

    When they finally do something to aid the modders someone should change it. I would love to start a rebellion in the UK and take over like wales or Edinburgh. Starting a new nation.
