What is Revolution?
Revolution is a feature added in Napoleon's Ambition, which starts a full blown revolution, French style. When the revolution begins, if you are France, you will become Revolutionary France. After this your country will be a Revolutionary Republic, and get a non-monarch leader. You can later change it into a Revolutionary Empire, which will give you an emperor instead of a president (like Napoleon did).
Is the revolution only for the French?
No. Everybody who has a capital in Europe, has one tech in level 45 (60 in In Nomine), is a monarchy, and get the revolution chain events (from some kind of revolution, that was included in EU III, to the storming of Bastille) can behead their emperor, hail to the tricolor, and sing the Marseillaise. Now THAT is what I call revolution
What are the fun parts of the revolution? Ain't it some kind of minor unification event?
No! Absolutely not. It's designed to make your games more fun and remake the Napoleonic wars (which, in this game, don't have to be Napoleon in the wars... It could be the Georgian wars for instance). When you get a revolution, certain events will help you get the leading country on planet... specially if you're at war with any monarchy (I think... maybe it's just non-revolutionary countries, I'm not sure). But, the other countries will also get helping events, if they're at war with you, so just when the revolution begins, prepare yourself for 3-5 countries declaring war against you... with allies!
How do I stop a revolution?
If you're the rev. country, you can't stop a revolution, but if you're at war with a rev. country, you only have to occupy their capital for an amount of months, and then they turn back to their non-revolutionary selves. Simply as that. Then you'll earn so much prestige and power in other ways, that you'll be the leading country for the rest of the game.
Okay, that sounds cool!
Yes, doesn't it! But there is something you should know about. Tech level 45 is only achieved near the end of the game. So if you want to try the revolution quickly, with Sweden, for example, then take The French Revolution bookmark, choose Sweden, and go back a 25-50 years back, 'cause if you go to close to the date, France will have the revolution events, and run off with a revolution... and in half a decade, you can prepare yourself for the revolution. Now go out and conquer Europe in the name of the Revolution. Vive la Révolution!
Revolution in numbers
Becoming a revolutionary country requires 2 steps, first is getting a revolution like this:
You need one of the following forms of government:
- feudal monarchy
- despotic monarchy
- noble republic
- absolute monarchy
- administrative monarchy
- enlightened despotism
- bureaucratic despotism
- republican dictatorship
- imperial government
and each of those:
- 6 war exhaustion or more
- less than 0 prestige
- Government Tech 48 or higher
- 5 or more provinces
After a MTTH of 360 months (+/- modifiers) you get a revolution. The revolution ends if you get stability 1 or higher and have 0 rebels (you don't want it to end!).
The sliders set towards aristocracy, decentralization and serfdom decreases MTTH and high revolt risk and low stability also decreases MTTH. The national idea Humanist Tolerance increases MTTH.
The second event you need to fire requires this:
- have a revolution
- government tech 53 or higher
- there is no other revolutionary country
- your capital is in Europe
- you have 10 or more provinces
- you're not France (France got a different event with the same requirements and effects)
After a mean time of 24 months, which is decreased for each of the 7 events that can fire due to the revolution, you become a Revolutionary Republic, get +3 stability, a new ruler and these sliders maxed:
- free subjects
- quality
- land
- offensive
- mercantilism
- innovative
- centralization
- plutocracy
