Just happened to me. It was 1175, I had vassalized Greece before they collapsed to prevent the Byzantine spawn. Greece had died a while back, and I owned Constantinopolis and Athenae. Then, "Byzantine cities have declared their independence from foreign domination!"
I wasn't unstable, at most I was shaky, and certainly not unstable. So my question: Why can the Byzantines respawn, especially if they never spawned in the first place? Can't civs only respawn if the conqueror has 3 cities in their core and the host is unstable? And if a respawn was unavoidable, why not have Greece spawn instead?
