After a revolt is declared, can another army move into that region before the owner fights the native battle?
A8. We decided to allow this, with the following clarifications. First, the invader has to be at war (of course). 2nd, the invader 1st fights the other players army. Assuming that battle is won, then the invading army has to then fight the native revolt (immediately, on the same turn). Finally, if it also happened to be the case that the original owner had paid to westernize at the same time (as explained in Q4), and the new owner defeats the natives, then the westernization still takes effect. Our reasoning is that even though the new owner didn’t pay for the westernization, the natives don’t really care which imperialistic empire controls the government as long as they get nice schools and roads, etc. The money was spent and takes effect. This will probably rarely happen, but the rule is here just in case!
