I don't see how anyone could possibly revolt me successfully. It would be incredibly hard on the attackers part to make a great attack. All you have to do is snipe their CS wave and game over, there's no way you can hope to take a decent and half active player with revolt.
It takes a lot more tactics and skill. Usually when I try to take a city, I will spend a day or two clearing it, sending troops at different times and trying hit the player when he is off line to take out his troops and when can't dodge. That means if the player wants defence, he has to call in suport from other cities, and you can't dodge with support troops. Then when you have the revolt going and the CS on route, you have to make sure that it has a strong army with it - I usually go for about 40 LS and at least 600 attacks troops. Seconds before it lands, you want to land an LS nuke from another city of at least 100, preferably 150 to wipe out any biremes in port.
You would be surprised at how hard it is to time dodging and work defence effectively. I know some extremely skilled players who have lost cities in the revolt system.
