Strategy game bug (minor)

[Puzz3D]

English campaign 1179 normal difficuly:

My former French ally finally attacked me in 1177 after breaking of our alliance a few years earlier which I didn't notice at the time. The French king was laying siege in Wessex, and there were French sieges in Normandy and Anjou. A French attack on Lorraine the same year failed. In 1178 I counterattacked in Wessex, Flanders, Saxony, Toulouse, and Provence winning all the battles. The French king was killed in Wessex, and his heir assumed the throne. When I look at what should be French garrisons under siege in Flanders, Saxony, Toulouse, and Provence they are instead Rebel with the grey colors. There are still five other territories under French control. Seems to me like those garrisions I have under siege should still be French.

I'm wondering if it told you 'an heir took over' even though there was currently a civil war going on over succession.

I saw this happen with the HRE when their emperor died (I didn't remember looking closely at the message). Suddenly half their former provinces were 'rebels'. So, taking advantage of the situation, I took some of them. Within about three years, all the remaining rebel provinces were suddenly back under HRE rule, even though he hadn't moved loyal troops there.

I just assumed it was all part of some civil war (as I had the same happen to me a few years before when my young king died attacking Flanders and his uncle took over as part of the loyalist faction). Maybe it is some goofy bug, although I never encountered it at all in my Egyptian campaign.

If it isn't a bug, I suppose you should be cautious about civil wars, as it seems other can take bites out of your rebellious provinces without actually going to war with you.

maybe they are rebels because of the death of the king;was quit common in the Middle Ages to become more or less independent when the king is gone and his heir takes over the kingdom;i dont think is a bug;

One sword to behead the white ruler sitting on the white throne in the Vatican.
One sword for the ruler who will come and unite us under the sign of the cross
with broken arms. Eleven swords to behead eleven lords and rulers of the land
united under the blue banner. A hundred swords to defend our southern
boundaries against black plague and half moon.
And one axe for me to defend my stronghold, and may I call this axe, "Bane of
Christendom" soon.
