Victors and Vanquished OTTO Francosia Rebellion loop

:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

At some point Francosia rebel in the game, after beating it’s armies it the rebellion happens again instantly. Usually it should get back to 90 or 100, but it starts looping with 0 → rebellion → 0 rebellion.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

For me this happens 90 percent after some point.

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
I usually start getting to castle age, building up knights and try to defend bavaria from infinite rush. (Also pinging allies to bravaria) It does not matter if i claim italy or not.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Francosia should became loyal after beating all of it’s armies. (or at least loyalty should be bigger than 0)
This bug would not bother so much if the scenario would be possible to win otherwise.

Maybe this is somewhat intentionaly i think this happens after bravaria is defeated, francosia can not be broken out of rebellion,but it could help to have a hint about this or just not switching back from rebellion.

Confirmed this issue. I was playing on Silver.via steam with the latest build, about 4 days ago. I tried an bunch of different strategies and got there in the end.

If a Vassal loyalty drops to zero they rebel as expected, but beating them doesn’t increase their loyalty so they instantly rebel again with no break. Because they spawn military units during Rebellion you end up with near endless waves of enemies spawning over and over. This happened with the nearest two Vassals, same behaviour. I think after about 20 times rebelling there was a minute or two break but then it started up again. The other issue is the rebellion caused huge performance issues for the game itself, it slows to a crawl and after multiple rebellions sonetimes it freezes it outright crashes, which never happens to me normally.

In the end I started over, big boom on all resources from the start and sent the vassals to kill the Wends two TCs before they could establish. Then sent the vassals over to break the viking wall. I had three local TCs and claimed the one in Italy, no military. I kept the two nearest vassals loyal by tributing wood, and allowed dark blue to get killed by the Magyars. That buys you enough time to get a mega eco going (and you can find plenty of gold mines and trade with green). Keep an eye on loyalty and tribute so you can keep those two allied, then do a joint raid with teutonic knights to kill the Vikings. The boost from destroying all their buildings will keep the allies loyal whilst you build a teutonic knight, pikemen and paladin army to get rid of the Magyars for the win. This avoided the bug by never letting loyalty drop to zero and therefore you don’t need to worry about purple. You also don’t need a tonne of castles if you’re fine with Bavaria dying and saving the other two.

Still, would be nice to get the bug fixed!

Getting this issue as well. Makes it nigh impossible to finish the mission.

Facing the same issue. Have to keep army in ally location for them to not rebel.
