Enemy villages switching to my side?

[Jasper9080]

Im playing a Parthian campaign currently fighting the Seleucids and 3 times now in about 10 turns a random village will riot and switch allegiance to my side with its entire stack (nothing appears to have disbanded).

The first time I noticed it it was Palmyra at the southern end of Seleucid territory at least 2 years travel (4 turns/year) and I thought "How the heck did I miss that when I started?". I thought it was just a remote territory like in the Rome campaign. Now, 2 more have switched sides. One far away from me and one right next to a newly conquered village.

Ive played many different factions and have never seen that before.

Yeh has happened to me in Armenia campaign a town to the south Karkasomething suddenly became Armenian after being rebel owned.
Seemed quite nice but then I realised it had put me in an early war with Seleucids :S

lol, Palmyra again switched to my side with and even bigger stack and more developed (I razed it for the gold when Seleucid sent 2 armies to retake it.) and its alot closer to my border now so Im going to try and keep it.

Whats weird is out of the 4 times its happened only once did I get a message about a riot with the EOT reports. The other times I just noticed a new patch of pink on the map.
