Shouldn't religious rebels disband after I've converted?
An army of religious protestant rebels have sieged two of my provinces. In the meantime, I have converted to protestantism through the religion panel ... but the rebels apparently didn't get the memo, and they are still there.
I can accept their demands, to convert to protestantism, but that has other effects, which I am not interested in (lower religious tolerance).
Is this a bug, or do I really have to beat them or surrender to them?
Their army is fairly large, but they are on an island without ships, so they don't pose a threat right now, but I'd rather they didn't siege my provinces when we agree on our chosen flavour of christianity.
Best Answer
Religion-based rebels also depend on the religion in their particular region. Unless both state and province converted, they have a reason to exist.
You wrote they can be neglected as they are on an island. Note that as of 1.8, rebels can move freely across water borders.
