Bapedi rebels to me... what?

LivingDog · Mar 18, 2011

I was starting this map when all of a sudden - out of the "blue" (dark) came this announcement:

"Zulus rebel at Bapedi... Aztecs suspected as having influenced it."

or some such. So I was wondering, so early in the game, why would a city rebel?? I mean sure, bad management, but in what way... and by an AI no less!

(Thanks to Whelkman for the suggestion to rename this thread. :goodjob:

You'll probably have a better chance renaming the topic and using it for something else than getting moderator attention.

I have never seen this from a city I hadn't yet discovered. Interesting that you can see the whole fat cross, not just the immediate 9-square neighborhood.
"Loyalty tests" occur at random times throughout the game just like disasters. Yet another reason to keep your citizens happy. At random, Bapedi failed a loyalty test and went looking for the closest empire to join. You won.

OOHHhh...

Having an undiscovered city revolting happened to be twice. Once early but once later. The later time I was really in the lion's den. Getting the full discovered area makes sense. It'd be disastrous for a larger city to be suddenly restricted to the eight neighboring squares. It's not like you get a unit to start out with, either.

I know this happens in later installments of civilization but will it allow you to take the city by culture? Is there culture in civ 1.

I know in Civ III that's how I always got enemy cities - by culture. My culture borders squeeze them to only ~2 tiles, they eventually revolt and join my growing nation.

I haven't run into anything called "culture" per se'. Maybe it is there since, if you dominate the tiles near a city, they have no resources and revolt to the nearest nation - you! :king:

Sounds like the work of a Diplomat.

That's not possible since there is no path to the city. But yes, a Diplomat could start this - and only in a city which isn't the capital.

It happens randomly to enemy civs. Always get this on Earth map, particularly with zulus.
