Neutral Countries: Events

[Zuckergußgebäck]

Right then, here is my "finnish civil war" event, it does requires one or two things from your side though...

event = {
id = ???
random = no
country = FIN
trigger = { exists = FIN

}
name = "Finnish civil war"
desc = "After the independance of Finland, the revolutionaries gained control in the leftist parties, finally they revolted, the revolters spread, capturing the rich, industrialised areas in the south and creating a front which stretched from Björneborg at the finnish gulf, towards Jyväskylä before ending north of Viipuri, the finnish government fled to Vaasa and picked up the fight."
style = 0

date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1914 }
offset = 14
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1924 }

action_a = {
name = "Man, you just cant trust these people!"
command = { type = independance which = U00}
command = { type = dissent value = 10 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = U00 value = 705 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = U00 value = 801 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = U00 value = 802 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = U00 value = 706 }
command = { type = secedeprovince which = U00 value = 787 }
command = { type = capital = which = 798 }
command = { type = war which = U00 }

}
}


This event requires that you find an ID for it, and that you create "red finland" (because I havent mastered creating countries yet).

[Allenby]

Can it really be said that it's worth having a whole new tag devoted to the Finnish Civil War?

I'm sceptical...

[ptan54]

I think this is important:
1 - They wouldnt keep the capital on the US border.
2 - Mexico City has been the administrative centre for ages - it makes sense to take advantage of this in built feature.

# Capital moves to Mexico City

event = {
country = U07
id = 61002
random = no
style = 0

name = "Capital moves to Mexico City"
desc = "With the end of the civil war, we have decided to move the capital to Mexico City."

trigger = {
NOT = { exists = MEX }
}

date = { day = 0 month = january year = 1914 }
offset = 1
deathdate = { day = 0 month = january year = 1925 }

action_a = {
name = "Hurrah!"
command = { type = capital which = 244 }
}
}

[Shadow Knight]

Perhaps ptan your correct, but why not let the player decide. Let a choice b be let it stay where it is. (Perhaps with a small IC increase in the new capital and a decrease in Mexico City.)

[ptan54]

OK then, here is the new one.

# Capital moves to Mexico City

event = {
country = U07
id = 61002
random = no
style = 0

name = "Capital moves to Mexico City"
desc = "With the end of the civil war, we have decided to move the capital to Mexico City."

trigger = {
NOT = { exists = MEX }
}

date = { day = 0 month = january year = 1914 }
offset = 1
deathdate = { day = 0 month = january year = 1925 }

action_a = {
name = "Hurrah!"
command = { type = capital which = 244 }
}

action_b = {
name = "Never! We like the new capital!"
command = { }
}
}

[StephenT]

I think you should also have a trigger condition to check that Revolutionary Mexico actually controls province 244 before this event fires.

If, say, the USA currently occupies Mexico City they would hardly move the capital there, and it might even cause a game crash if you tried...

[ptan54]

No such need - if Mex doesnt exist then the Civil war is over.

If the Civil war is still on, Mexico rejects Zimmerman immediately.

[StephenT]

OK, so what would happen if some other country (Germany, or Russia, or Japan, or Bulgaria...) declared war on MEX and annexed it, before the civil war ended? They'd then control Mexico City...

[StephenT]

There seems to be a problem with the Chilean battleship event chain: some events refer to the Turkish event 41009, which doesn't exist. It looks like the Ottoman events were renumbered but the cross-references weren't updated.

As far as I can tell, these changes are needed:

Chilean event 9001 (Sale of the Admiral Latorre)
Option A: change sleepevent which = 41009 to sleepevent which = 41007

British event 56354 (Ex-Admiral Latorre from Ottomans)
Trigger conditions: change event = 41008 to event = 41007

Secondly, unless I'm missing something the Chileans can never actually receive the ship, even if neither the Turks nor the British buy it! So I propose the following:

event = { 
    country = CHL 
    id = 9003 
    random = no 
    style = 0 

    name = "The Almirante Latorre is complete" 
    desc = "Our new battleship has been completed in a British shipyard and 
handed over to her Chilean crew.  Armed with ten 356mm (14-inch) guns, the 
Almirante Latorre will be the most powerful ship in the Pacific Ocean." 

    trigger = { 
        NOT = { event = 9002 }
        random = 50 
    } 

    date = { day = 1 month = september year = 1915 } 
    offset = 1 
    deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1924 } 

    action_a = { 
        name = "Excellent" 
        command = { type = add_division which = battleship } 
    } 
}

Event 9002 in the trigger conditions is the event Chile receives if the battleship is sold.

Admittedly, this event will only be needed if Britain doesn't enter the war, but that could happen.

[Allenby]

I noticed that as well - I went some way to sorting the problem, but I didn't notice the Chileans never recieving their ship...

# Ex-Admiral Latorre from the Ottoman Empire

            event = 41007 #changed from 41008
            event = 56353 
        } 
    } 

    date = { day = 9 month = august year = 1914 }

[Allenby]

Is there an overriding necessity to give a thoroughly beaten Austria or Hungary national claims to their old territories?

[ptan54]

I know for certain there were irredentist sentiments in Hungary - otherwise they wouldnt have gone fascist and Hitler wouldnt have given them Transylvania and Transcarpathian Ruthenia again.

As for Austria, claiming Neuhaus isn't out of the question as it was a Sudeten territory that directly bordered it.

Trentino I'm not sure.

Laibach I think is fair, as Hitler reincorporated Carniola into Austria as well.

Here is another little event:

}
action_b = {

command = { }

}
(All I/you have to do is to add ID, add some commands, british access and controll over Afghanistan and some triggers)

[Shadow Knight]

Nice event ZgB. Allenby is this going to interfere with our Afghanistan joins the CP event chain? If so we could have this one sleep if that chain goes off, and have the other chain sleep this one.

[Allenby]

I think the Afghan invasion of India in 1919 has to have two conditions. Firstly, that Amanullah is the Emir of Afghanistan - his predecessor Habibullah was assassinated because it was perceived that he was too pro-British. At the moment, there’s no event that deals with Emir Habibullah’s assassination. Amanullah wanted Afghanistan to have an independent foreign policy, and decided to take advantage of unrest in India by declaring a jihad. His commanders decided to exceed their authority and launch the invasion prematurely, just after the Amritsar Massacre. Therefore, that would have to be trigger condition too.

As for its compatibility with the Afghan war entry chain, I think that the Afghans wouldn’t have the balls to invade British India if they had just been aligned with the Germans, and beaten too. Infact, it’s quite likely that if Afghanistan does join the Central Powers, then it would get annexed by Britain or Russia, and thus, wouldn’t exist when the 1919 event is scheduled to trigger. So essentially, you’re right: any option which puts Afghanistan alongside Germany should sleep the events that ZGB suggests.
