Revolt Spam?

[RalphRoberts]

I've taken Holland from the Netherlands, as GB, all 4 provinces of which I had claims on.

I have now been forced to garrison my entire army there because, every few months (weeks?) I get an event "Revolt", indicating that they are tired of being ruled by foreigners.

I have lost 30K men to rebels so far and may not be able to hold out long enough to core Netherlands at this rate.

The rebels are not spawning through the traditional ticking percentage but are generated instantly from a repeating event.

I am catholic and Netherlands is protestant.

Only one province is "Unlawful".

Overextension is at 83%.

I own no DLC.

Help?

I've researched this a bit and it appears it's because of Dutch culture? Anyone able to confirm this or give tips to deal with the revolts?

It sounds like the Netherlands declared independence, it causes all Dutch and Flemish culture provinces to revolt frequently.

A few ways to get out of it is to culture shift to Dutch
Culture convert provinces(though not possible in your current state due to seperatism)
And wait it out, they die down at some date(can't remember when, 1650 mashups?)

Oh duh, you mentioned you took them from Netherlands, then yeah, that is the reason ^^

I can confirm this. The revolts spawn in provinces with dutch or flemish culture if the owner of these provinces has another culture.
Way to stop it (afaik):
1. Change cultureof the Provinces
2. Wait till 1650, when they should end
3. Have 100% autonomy (not sure)

Culture shift to ducth does not help, if iremember right

3 might actually be true as well, I've heard some talk about that, but never pursued it myself.

I think depending on the year you're in, coring them, moving your capital there and make Dutch primary culture of your nation is the 'easiest' way to stop it.

Not sure it's beneficial for your empire though :P

Pretty sure capital+culture switch does do the trick? It did last time I was playing in the area, which admitedly is..... Some? Time ago :$

[RalphRoberts]

I had just maxed autonomy before shutting down for the night. Hopefully that's done the trick! Would be nice to have accidentally fixed it.

Thing is, he just conquered them, so, you know... Seperatism :P

Its a Netherlands/Dutch culture event that tends to spam, To stop/avoid it, just change all the cultures for those provinces to your desired culture, and core them, should stop the event from coming up.

[Shai-Hulud]

Just move your capital there.

Yeah between this overextension and the fact your catholic, is really going to piss them off and they would revolt anyway unless you have humanist ideas.
