This is my first post. I've been on NA1 since day one, and I want to thank everyone for the hard work sorting this out. That being said, I too have some concerns about the colonization process:
1. Once you start an uprising, the suzerain should not be able to draft any more troops from that city. They already said they're ready to fight to the death to be free!
2. There are no reports of what the suzerain is sending to quell the uprising. They just appear at the end of 8 hrs.
3. There should be a limit, as with any other attack, set by your rally point, as to how many troops the suzerain can send to quell the uprising. I got hit with a single wave of over 600k troops. They don't even have to time their waves.
4. At the end of the suppression period, the colonizing troops are automatically returned home. That means they have to march back and retake your city when you uprise, so why don't your wall defenses help at all?
That's a few of the things bothering me, thanks for the chance to voice them.
