Question about city revolts

[Aneurism]

If your culture surrounds a foreign city and it has a revolt towards your empire (not a flip) is there anything that you can do to make it more likely to flip to your empire such as stationing troops in the city (if you have open borders)?

I know there is always a first revolt before the flip and the final flip always happen 10 to 15 turns later..

interesting question

I've read an another forum post somewhere that if you station 10 units in a city that will stop your city which has gone into revolt towards another empire from flipping. So I wonder if a city that is revolting to you if you station 10 more troops than the city owner has, will that gaurantee the city will flip to you? for example the oponent has 4 units and you place 14.

well...adding 10 units would prevent them to lose their HP points...you should know that when a city revolts the units inside the city fights back ''the crowd'' and lose HP points. Usually half their HP. On the second revolt I guess you need more troops...But i have never seen that I'll usually trade the city i'll lose .

Stationing units in a foreign city doesn't help flipping or revolting to you at all. It only helps with city's under your control. The only thing which does effect revolts/flipping, is more cultural pressure. The more pressure, the more troops are needed to keep it from filpping I think.

It has been discussed before, but can't remember the thread.

Any units in a city SUPPRESS revolts (your troops in a city will discourage a 'you' revolt)

If you hover your mouse over the nationality % it will tell you the odds of revolt.

Wait, ANY units will suppress a revolt? I thought that the only troops that would matter are the troops of the nation that currently owns the city.

I remember reading that any troops would suppress a revolt. It was in one of those thread things somewhere. Someone had read the code for checking revolt probabilities and there wasn't anything about whose troops were there, just the amount of troops.

Thats hilarious, I have been sending troops to discourage a revolt to me

If you are able to station troops in his city you have an open borders treaty meaning that you can be considered a friend of the other nation, and friends help each other

Thinking about it does give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
