What causes Revolutions?

[Assault crab]

1838 and it looks like USA, Greece, some small german states and me (Egypt) are going to have a revolution. East India Company seems to have declared independence and is now called Revolutionary East india company and fighting Britain.

From what I remember reading dev diaries, the usual causes are people's low standard of living (not enough goods to buy or enough wage for a living), interest groups being neglected or actively suppressed, and lastly, high level of support and radicalism from multiple sources to change a law.

Had a serious shortage of grain (i think, the UI is really confusing), but support and radicalism is busted. Every country i tried starts with few loyalists and high radicalism.

EDIT: Switching around some countries (works like CK3 change character) and everywhere seems to have more radicals than loyalists

Not surprisingly, there was a bug in one of the AAR some time ago where it was full-blown rebellion everywhere and even in freshly installed revolutionary countries. They still have some way to go before it is ready.

I would treat it as a VERY early beta where things are not working or implemented and with tons of placeholder art/text.

The Victoria 3 game was leaked last week and people could download an older version from March. Then run it.

I saw footage last week, and the original video was takedown by Paradox. Then the same video was re-uploaded without beta footage of Victoria 3, but by then, it became common knowledge on Reddit.

I am not advocating for anyone to resort to piracy. I am just telling you what happened.

It's not hacking, it's beta testing fail...

hold up. the guy that made this little discussion got banned. what for?

While a movement’s demands remain unmet, any Pops that belong to them will gradually gain Radicals. Once the Radicalism of a movement has exceeded a certain threshold it will begin organizing an armed uprising. You can monitor this progression in your outliner to see both how rapidly you’re moving along the road to revolution and how far you have already gone, both determined by Radicalism.

This means you can have a direct impact on revolutionary progression. Of course you can cave to the movement’s demands, which will placate them and eventually cause them to disband. But you can also address the problem by identifying the troublemakers and deal with them directly: either deradicalize them by improving their living conditions, or suppressing their contrarian ways by other means.

The ability to deal with insurgents by issuing Decrees to suppress Radicals can be a helpful tool in more authoritarian countries with concentrated populations, or where the insurgency is very localized. This is much more difficult in case of broadly supported populist movements in a large country.

But let’s say you don’t manage to placate or obstruct the political movement and the revolutionary progression boils over a required threshold. In this case an armed uprising will take a number of your states, proportional to the strength of the movement and localized roughly where its supporters are, to form a new revolutionary country. This country has the same technology as you but with some differences in laws, to reflect the ideological desires of the political movement’s leadership. Furthermore, the Interest Groups in this new country will become marginalized if they do not support the revolution, while the opposite is true in the loyalist part of the country.

As the quoted posts suggest, you know why he got banned and it's not controversial at all.

Because you enjoy Paradox games, apparently, and defend them implicitly.
