Refugees keep starving

[florian.bloch]

I managed to conquer South Korea with North Korea by simply moving all my troops to the Capital and conquering it. During the fighting, all of the population of Seoul became an 8 million refugee blob. I wonder what to do with them and to reintegrate them. I repaired the damage to the city of Soeul. I build refugee-camps. I can click the refugee blob, but I cannot give them any orders and they refuse to do anything. They just sit right next Seoul and keep dying in a really fast pace. What can I do?
Thank you for your help!

They are refugees. If theres a 8 million blob.. how many refugee camps did you build? Like 25? xD

[florian.bloch]

I built a lot! And they did not think about moving to these locations. They just sit next to their perfectly rebuilt city with 0 inhabitants.
All of them just sit around and die.
When I look to former Battlefields from the AI, the refugees went back to their city after the war was over and became citizens again - without the 0 pop-city and everybody dying off crap.
What am I doing wrong?

[Lieutenant]

Yes they don't come back to your country unless the war is over (if they haven't made in all the way to japan, jk)
They go wherever the closest refugee camp from another country is located or wherever the UN tells them to go. They normally tend to go to other countries with opened borders.

Thank you for your answer. The thing is, the war is over for 3 years now. And they are inside my country. I conquered South Korea. They are litterally my citizens, from my city, sitting around a perfectly rebuilt city and a bunch of refugee camps. They are just doing nothing. Not fleeing to another country, not going into a camp, not entering a city.

I mean, the war is over. The city is rebuilt. A Mega-City like Seoul with its skyscrapers completly empty and 8 million people sitting outside of it and are starving. This is completly retarded. I mean, after a few years, there will be hundrets of ghost towns in the game.
Is there any way to reintegrate refugees? Or to repopulate the cities?

[florian.bloch]

I see the AI. The refugees go back into the city they came from after a while and become normal citizens again. What do I need to do?

[Lieutenant]

Also make sure your country cities are rebuilt...refugees go back to where they came from.

Hey thank you for your advice. So i tried a few things out. I built a ton of new refugee camps. More than enough for 8million people.
I rebuilt the cities. I declared war to Brunei and white peaced. I declared war to Brunei and demanded tribute. I declared war to Brunei and made them a puppet. I declared war to Brunei and annexed them. I waited after the peace treaty for a while. The refugees still did not enter a camp or went back into the city. All they did was starve down to 7 million refugees.
When i conquered Brunei, i now had a second refugee stack from the capital of Brunei who also refused to re enter their city, even though it was perfectly rebuilt.
So... does anyone know what the hell I am missing here?

Sometimes it works simply to destroy your camps.
It's an old bug.
