this explains much. i knew that friendly takeover is easily disrupted, and with the same logic brutal takeover is hardest to disrupt.
Really? I was thinking that the friendly takeover--if the region really, really likes you--could continue with 0 soldiers present, while the brutal would require constant looting or at least armed forces to continue. And the hostile takeover, of course, requires lots of soldiers in region--hostile should probably be the easiest to disrupt using troops.
