Thats what i thought too. Ottomans used it as a reason to invade. Gives me a nice opening to take some of those double resource provinces too 8)
Most likely randomly generated. If you take a city and the moral is really low they will rebel and if you don't have a good amount of troops in the city they will join another country.
What Vassilli said. Please read this, this will be vital information to you throughout the game. I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you all that newly claimed provinces will have a set morale, and it will be lower than 50%, meaning that there will be a revolt risk. To ensure that you do not lose the province to a revolt, you should keep at least ten or more infantry regiments in the city. Not the province, the city, I can't believe how many times I've seen people think that their troops morale will increase or they will sustain the province if they are anywhere inside of the province. You must keep them in the city to raise morale of both your troops and the city. Your troops morale will raise depending on the morale of the city. If the city has a morale of 90%, and your stationed troops has a collective morale of 70%, your troops morale will slowly rise to equal the amount of the cities morale. This does not work the other way around. (As far as I know) Also, if you're lacking resources and are nearly depleted, ask other players, strike an off-market deal and see what you can get from them for whatever they may need.
More vital information about this game If you are facing an enemy approaching from sea, it is far better to intercept those enemies while they are "Disembarking" or landing on the coast, you can do this by placing units at the very edge of the coast, or while they are disembarking, issue an attack order against the disembarking army. Regiments going through the disembarking procedure are, by the very literal meaning of this, combat ineffective. (Edit: Actually, I've just been told that the disembarking troops will be at half-strength, but that is pretty significant and I'd consider that combat ineffective.) They will be massacred, and will have little resistance to the enemies on land. Disembarking troops can have a maximum of 4 hours, 30 minutes to complete their disembark depending on whether or not they are disembarking at a harbour, which would cut the time down by half. Battles are fought at each hour, depending on when they start. An army that comes into range of an enemy force will have roughly fifteen minutes or less before the initial battle, it cannot be determined when precisely the first round of fighting will begin, but after the first round of fighting, the results of the battle will update at each and every hour at the minute it has started until it is over. Using the information from the two paragraphs above, you can determine how long you can fight the disembarking army before it completes its disembarking process if they aren't obliterated during it. This is very effective if you are a smaller, island nation with little opportunity to grab land.
I pity Italy. They didn't even do anything, if anything, it was more the Ottoman's fault. Now Italy's being taken apart piecemeal.
Damn darn fudge... I go on vacation for one week come back and the mighty Cobra Empire of Italy is gone
Too bad that leaves the rest of your nation virtually undefended. I think the Austrians or the Russians could just walk on in if they wanted to.
I hear that. Those fucking Danes are just hiding up in Iceland with like 40 guys. I swear. I've got like half my army just trying to get there because it takes FOREEEEVVVVEEERRRR to sail that far up North.
Those danes have just been building up troops for like 6 days now XD Ottoman, you have like 80 units attacking italy? Wow. I could sneak in and take your entire country in a few days. Watch out. But yea, ITaly. Northern Italy is French and Austrian, Central is mine, and Southern seems to be Morrocan and Ottoman. Yummy yummy double resource provinces.
Well, it doesn't seem like there's much activity going on in our RP game today. There wasn't much yesterday either.
