Barbarian loyalist Revolt???

[Megawasp]

I was playing as the Lombards, trying to follow history and migrating to Italy. I was well underway taking northern Italy from the Romans, when suddenly I got a message about a "Loyalist Revolt". I look then and see to my horror that original settlement from where I started the game had revolted from the Burgundians and came back under my ownership.
So now i've got a poor and isolated settlement that I don't want and would only be a drain of resources because of the wars i'll be dragged into because everybody and their mother will attack it.

There are alot of frustrating things in BI that make following history and roleplaying a huge pain in the backside, like the Romans NEVER changing their provinces to Christian, making it almost impossible to switch over to Christianity yourself (good luck trying to get those bloody Paladins as the Franks!), but now there's this nonsense to deal with!

That's always been a thing. Just raise the taxes in the settlement to hell to take advantage of the extra cash for a few turns, empty the garrison (doesn't matter how) and just let them either revolt or get reconquered. Job done >: ]

That does not mean it should not be addressed at all. It might not be too difficult to get rid of the settlement itself, but the wars it can get you into are most definitely not. And let's not get started on how much it ruins immersion.

It's not going to be addressed. It's an actual game feature, not a bug. Settlements can outright revolt and turn into new factions too, which is probably the next step after it switched to your side. Eastern Roman Empire Rebels are a thing and every other faction in the game has their own version.

If you dump it quick enough, you miiight even avoid the sudden wars caused by border friction too. I'mjust showing you a really effective way of dealingwith an unwanted addition to your empire. Whether you chose to implement it or be lost in woe over this one small feature is up to you.

Sarcasm aside, it is a feature. If a settlement revolts, there is a chance it reverts to the original owner instead of just rebels.

A fun example I once had as the WRE. A town in Iberia turned rebel and I sent a low loyalty general to take it back. One turn before he reached it, the general rebelled and the city turned loyalist. So I ended up defending the very city I went to attack, from the army I sent to attack it. Good times.

The Roman example makes sense, got no problem with that. But it shouldn't happen to a settle that you abandon. Especially when it's been abandoned for over 50+ turns.
It's like if Schleswig-Holstein revolted against Germany and became part of England.

I can't even give away cities to the AI for free, let alone sell them.
