If you capture an enemy city or port, the enemy can amass forces in that city and press the Revolt button. This happens instantly, and you immediately begin the battle.

If you need to destroy the enemy's accumulated forces yourself, you must remove the army/navy from the city/port and then attack again.
Under the standard scenario, this takes 30 minutes without bombers/carriers, or 1 hour with them.

During this time, the enemy can successfully load their troops and sail off to an unknown destination.
This mechanic contradicts reality and makes destroying the enemy online impossible.
Imagine this in real life: an army besieges a city, wants to kill the remaining troops. It withdraws everyone from the city, then attacks again, instead of storming the city.

I propose:
Introduce an "Assault City" button for the player who has occupied the city or blockaded the port.
After the attacking player presses the button, the battle immediately begins, just like when the defending player presses the Revolt button. A limitation should be introduced: for example, a player can only attack Assault once per day.

This will equalize the playing field between attackers and defenders. It will make online battles more interesting.
It will add variety to the gameplay.

So you assault, he flags, battle is over again after 2 rounds and you cant do it again for 24h? Dont see the value in this.

And where exactly does it add variety?
Think there needs to be more explanation on why and how exactly this would make Battles more interesting/divers (btw. you can attack the city again much faster then the mentioned 30/60min).

Like sure, the defender overall has a huge advantage on many aspects, thats obvious and especially the restart of the battle while the city is occupied is some sort of issue, granted, but I dont see yet how that suggestion would rly lower that advanteg adequately / make battles more interesting.

Remove flag option when troops are in the city. For both players, only troops from another city should be recalled

It's very strange when an enemy with a large army sits in his city and nothing can be done to him.
