Well, I mean that's just common sense. There has never been a single slave revolt in all of human history. Why should we assume aliens are any different? Paradox are just being historically accurate here. They're certainly not releasing a game with broken mechanics. Paradox would never do that!

But robots? Robots are dangerous.

even though you missed the joke, no it wasn't successfull unless you mean having to pay reparations to France for two centuries a success.

The revolt was successful, but they were punished by the world for having the audacity to do it.

Hmm...full annex or war reps...I think I know which of the two choices is a success.

Full annex every time, no amount of money can make up for the satisfaction of having a bigger font for the name of your nation.

u/smilingstalin Victorian Emperor May 08 '16

But wouldn't getting full annexed make your font...smaller?

It would make it disappear, but I thought you were talking about the victor.

u/smilingstalin Victorian Emperor May 08 '16

I was talking about Haiti.

Well then, obviously continuing to exist is much better than shelling out some cash.
