Rebel seige freezes
A rebel seige freezes and never takes the city.
Playing 1.04, Prussia, GC, Very Hard/Normal.
Vorpommern is owned by France and borders me. I am hoping for defections, so when Vorpommern revolts I watch with interest. It revolts in either late 1627 or early 1628. For the first year or so, progress is normal, the rebels are whittled down by attrition and the seige (of the medium fortress) progresses to yellow.
By 1630 it is frozen on yellow, and stays there for another 10 years. There are a constant 15000 rebel troops (presumably the province limit). The animated cannon fires every month, but nothing else happens.
France has had some major event. During this period messages show that the Huguenots, the French Catholics, Brittany and Mantua have all seceded. In 1640, Vorpommern's revolt risk is 8% (+10 due to event effects) but there has been no second revolt since 1628/9.
I have save files from 1628 and 1640, if they are of any help.
Loading as France shows that the seige is actually on -3.
Reloading the 1640 file replicates this behaviour (at least for a further year). In the one reload of the 1628 file I have tried, France sent troops to quell the revolt before the seige reached yellow.
Severity?
Depends how often it happens. I normally quell my own revolts within a year or two, and wouldn't notice if the odd seige had frozen. I don't normally watch other seiges that closely.
But as revolts are the main limit on the expansionary ambitions of big countries, it's not much use if they don't work sometimes.
This thread on the discussion forum lists at least one other case.
