Revolutions dont make sense

[jevano_pg16]

Is revolutions broken or am I doing something wrong. I am playing as Germany and have a revolution brewing with 170 or my 200 regiments set to join to institute technocracy. That's fine. But as soon as I start the law for technocracy again 170 of 200 regiments are joining a revolution to preserve universal suffrage. How can the same pop and same soldier be for and against the same thing and are ready to revolt within a day?

It seem the revolution mechanism at this point to just so paradox can tick that box. thinking back to 1800 and 1900 revolutions, they were not sparked on any large country altering scale with a significant catalyst ie. a devastating 4 year war with people dying of starvation

they are actually in reality just mad at you those pops not necessarily at the law change thats why they are revolting

You are 100% correct revolutions do not make sense. As for the last comment, revolutions/rebellions are Paradox's Way to stifle you the player because they can't balance their game, so its just there as a check against you for some kind of "challenge" to you. It more often than not doesn't make sense.

Yeah I've found that the only way to get what I want is to get the side I prefer to rebel and play as them, otherwise it's just always a losing battle. Completely killed my enjoyment of a France playthrough I was doing. Either outnumbered by capitalists or outnumbered by communists.

My most recent Brazil playthrough I beat the landowners so hard that they were the first to support the republic and one week before i approved the republic law they tried a coup to institute the republic.

Yeah, sometimes they are just mad at you LMAO

I have 13 million loyalists and under 1 million radicals yet somehow the entire country is always ready to overthrow the government lol

Whoa.., can't believe I am seeing this. Same thing JUST happened to me. I thought it was a one-off. Apparently not.

I did some research and found that there's some things you can do to avoid revolts. Apparently any interest group above -10 approval will not revolt. Trying to keep everyone happy the best you can is really important. On top of that there's a penalty to their approval for recent changes they don't approve of as well, so waiting in between passing controversial policies until the penalty blows over can be really important.
