Camouflaged Units

It's most likely not there, but when you move out of range you see the ghost from old intel.

When the position and direction of enemy units is reported by spies or planes it will have a shadow spy man in the corner of the selected unit, and the description box will display: "intelligence from xx:xx pm"

In this case a plane on patrol spotted this unit at 11:02 pm. At that moment the unit was not in motion, so the intel is reported as stationary. Once my patrol plane moved on or after the spy report was given the user could have given new orders to the unit. So if at 11:05 the player sent this destroyer to another location I will not find it there 12 hours later, but the image will show as being there unless I have that location in view. Intel reported by spies or from planes on patrol will persist until the next day change.

Also I have seen my computer not load certain unit icons properly, so I might see enemies tanks, but not any armored cars for example. Clearing browser cache and reloading the game fixed that issue, as it does nearly every graphical display issue.

So that's apparently not the case. I ignored it assuming it was a ghost unit that hadn't cleared...I then came back to two lost territories

Hmm. Are you sure you didn't lose those to Rebellions?

...didn't know that was a thing. I'm assuming militia is the only way to prevent rebellion? Also, once eliminate the core country, I'm assuming rebellions stop?

Rebellions can occur in any province with low morale. They can rebel to anyone, either their orivinal owner, previous owner, or any "happy" country.

You can check the newspaper, specifically the "myself" tab to see if there were rebellions or what exactly happened.

If it was a rebellion: Rebellions are triggered by when morale in the province is low. Morale is particularly low after being captured, but can also be affected by the number of wars, food shortages, distance from capital, and neighbors.

The best way to learn about province morale is to click on the little "i" button next to the province morale bar. This will pop up a box that lists the province morale, percent chance of revolt, and other influences of the morale.

So in this example the morale of this recently captured province is 25%. I happen to have one infantry guy there still, with an army strength of 2.8 which makes the probability of an uprising 12%.

This is actually fairly dangerous, as it is likely that the province will revolt, and the new owner will get the infantry unit as well. So I plan to add more troops before day change.

If I remove that infantry the listing will change to army strength zero, and chance of uprising raises to 28%

So if you definitely want to prevent rebellions you need to keep a strong enough army in the province to bring that chance of uprising down to zero. With a newly captured province having a morale of 25% you need an army strength of 7.0 or larger typically. That army needs to be in the province center. Keep in mind that armored units lose strength when moved into cities.

The alternative is to allow provinces to revolt and keep an armored car behind your front line to run around and chase down the revolting provinces. I usually do this, and I only put a garrison force in important cities.
