Provinces Defecting

[ahauschild]

I have not run into this for a while, but it is showing his ugly head again, and I dont understand it.

Example 1. I played the British, and started out by capturing Danemarks Capitol. Kewl, 3 Provinces adopted to my Home Color (solid Red). The next turn they reverted back to Danemark, and auto kicked my trops. Did that three times, winning the country, only to have it turn independent and kick me the following turn.

Example 2. Russian, lost a war with France and Spain, (Damn Insurectionist, I just pushed the french off my soil, had over 150k in prisoners) The following turn several of my Original (solid Green) provinces turned neutral. I captured them again, but each following turn they turn neutral again.

I thought only provinces with stripes could turn or rebel on you. Your own provices, (those with solid colors) did not turn, but generated only rebels, if unhappy.

1. Question, Is this a bug
2. Question, If not a bug, what attribute/stat allows me to maintain control of a province, I mean, is having 300k of troops sitting in the province not enough?

Never saw this happen - I'm beginning to wonder if you perhaps have a corrupted file somewhere...
