Has this happened to anyone else?
Does anyone know how it could revolt?

I have seen it happen to other (computer) players, I think it then had something to do with civli war and rebels from neighbouring provinces moving around.

Are you sure that a rebel army hasn't entered the province from outside?

While playing Portugal I had the same thing happen to one of my North American colonies and there was no nearby city that could have generated rebels. I'm 99% certain it was linked to civil war. At least it was over quickly, but my colony was reduced from 600+ to 60 men

Best regards

Is this a bug?

My level 4 colony in Nova Scotia revolted last night and was knocked down to a level 1 colony.

I had it too today, in Amapa ( I think) it was a level 3 colony, after the revolt it was only 68 people. I think there is a random event that causes a random province to revolt (even colonies)

ok
finnmark was destroyed, and necer rebuilt=)

 

[unmerged(3434)]

yup! event nr 2

I have had this happen to me too. It is most annoying early in the game, when it is a real pain (& an attrition nightmare) to transport troops to your overseas colonies to retake them. But as far as bugs go, it is a fairly minor one.

I have also had this with an IGC-driven game. Oddly enough I saw no ostensible damage, although I may not have accurately remembered the colony's size (since it was pretty small anyway). I agree that if it is a bug it appears to happen infrequently enough not to really mar the rest of the very cool dynamics the IGC allows.

I've had this happen too. It's very rare, but it does happen.

Colony Revolt

I've had colonies revolt a number of times, most often while playing France and there were no adjacent rebels.

I had the colony of Peurto Rico revolt, when it had 200 something people in it.
It was reduced to 68 people.

There were no natives, and obviously no neighboring rebels.
The colony didn't even have any revolt risk, either.

there is random event "revolt in colony"
are you sure it wasn't that?
