Richard IV (Cromwell) was king at the time, so this event makes no sense as it is. I suggest it only fire if the Stuarts are on the throne, in the person of Charles II.

You're right, description of the event needs amendement but why only Stuarts?

On another note. Is it possible for the Netherlands to refuse to support the Glorious Revolution, and thereby William III not become king? I think it ought to be, because there's no reason Mary II couldn't have ruled alone, followed by Anne in 1694.

Yes, better have multiple choice when it is plausible, especially when final decision is not in the hands of a player. But choices must be balanced. In this case, why Netherlands should not help? What are the benefits for Netherlands?

It's more of a personal event. Charles II was very interested in the arts & sciences, and was a keen patron of them both in the court and in & around London. Richard Cromwell, much less son.

Yeah, I realised that. I'm going to change it so the choice is purely down to Parliament, not William. William always said he was never there to invade England per se, and wouldn't have taken the crown by force. He was offered it. If Parliament decided only to offer him some sort of regency or caretaker role, than he'd go back to Holland.

The player (as England) can choose (A, default) William & Mary as joint-sovereigns, or (B) Mary as sole sovereign, with William as consort by way of his marriage to the queen, but he would play no real role, remaining in his native country and concentrating on his various French wars.

Lambert died during the winter of 1683/4 (I've provided the date he was laid to rest, as it's the only exact date we have), so couldn't have been Lord Protector as late as 1688.

I'm sorry about these posts, but it's so confusing having all of this stuff on a single post. Let me finish what needs doing, then I'll move it all onto a single, readable post before I submit it. ;)

My only problem with these Scots regents is 0119508. Do you mean this Alexander Stewart? If so, he died in 1485, and therefore couldn't have been in power in 1488. If you mean another man by the same name, I cannot think who. The bishop of St. Andrews of the same name wasn't born until 1490...

There is a real problem since James III ruled until 1488 and James IV had no regent...

This is the right Alexander Stewart but he should be mentioned only between early October 1482 (lieutenant-general of the realm - I don't see evidence of March, 15) and the death of Edward IV of England on April 9, 1483. James III was restored after this date.

I think we should have a sequence for England involved and a dormant Alexander Stewart. if England exists and is not vassal of Scotland around July-October 1482, Alexander is awakened. James III is restored (new monarch with new id) when Edward IV dies (or if England disappears after 1482). Otherwise, James III (0119507) rules until his death in 1488 without problem. Any thought?

With regards to Henry VI's regents, we have a slight problem. Whereas Bedford was the senior of the two surviving royal brothers, he was in fact regent of France, not England. This position was Gloucester's; he was to relinquish it to Bedford when the latter was in England, however.

My suggestion would be to amend events 2200000 & 2200001, thereby giving the player the choice of either brother as regent. I'm not sure about their stats. From what I've read on this period (quite a lot), I'd probably give Bedford similar stats to Henry V. Gloucester was far more average by comparison.

It could be the solution.

Most ships were struck frozen by the ice-cap and all their crew died of starvation, except the Edward, under senior navigator Richard Chancellor, who entered the White Sea and reached Arkhangelsk, a small village that would later grow to a port in 1584. There he learned about the wealth and power of the Russian emperor and journeyed in horse-drawn sleighs, in winter, to Moscow. Although Russia and England had diverging interests in establishing relationships with each other, the Muscovy Trade Company formed to exploit the new trade was a commercial success, in particular with the Russian fur trade.

I opened the leader file of England and could find neither
Richard Chancellor
nor
Hugh Willoughby
as leaders or explorers.

Did you mean that there already is an explorer existing for England that covers their attempted exploration of the north-east-passage?

Or do you mean that England has enough explorers that they don´t need that one in this event? In the latter case I would suggest not to remove the random explorer but only make him appear as close as possible to the area he should explore, so not -1 but rather Finnmark or such so that the game engine will place him at the closest english province that England owns at that time.
 
Random explorers last for 20 years. We have Frobisher, Drake, Gilbert, Cavendish, John Davis and James Lancaster from 1577 to 1591 as historical explorers. Isn't it enough?
Explorers can only appear in owned ports.

Do we need England to explore that much between 1553 and 1573?

Richard Chancellor and Hugh Willoughby went on expedition in the White Sea (=> Europe). They never went in Atlantic Ocean in search for lands or passage in North America.
 
Sorry to interrupt your discussion here, but i've been playing through as England having won the HYW, and there seems to be no Act of Union events including France. While i'm sure there is sound logic behind this, i feel that there should be an option, perhaps late game (1760s-1790s) for an Event to truely unite the Isles with France. It could be at the cost of huge rebellions in France, considering that they would be upset with loosing what autonomy they might have retained, and it could setup a Revolutionary/Napoleonic Wars scenario if the Player is unable to hold onto France. If the player is able to hold on, they could gain free in Paris and Lyon, Infra and Stab boost, and French Generals, but would fire an event chain for the German states, mirroring the French Revolution. It would make the end Game a tad more interesting and give an interesting set up for a V:R conversion.

Also, could we add an option to force Richard IV(Cromwell) second marriage through parliament to keep the House going at the consequence of stab hits? I understand that we would need fantasy monarch's for the rest of the game, but theoretically, if the Centralization is high enough, wouldn't he have been able to force the issue?
 
Your ideas require plausible events (if not Fantasy at some point). If someone wants to script them, there is no problem. Be aware regular modders already have "enough" (if not "too much") with scripting historical events and stuffs...
 
About post 2737 and regents for England, we lack an event to activate one of the proposed regent. Henry VI (046001) startdate needs reworking too.

046007 being free, 046039 is renumbered to 046007 and proposed monarchs from 046040 to 046043 for England are also renumbered to 046039 to 046042 (-1).

#-#Cromwell died in 1658. When his son Richard resigned office after only a year, the door was open for political anarchy as the flag of Rebellion was raised for Charles II in exile. Parliament was summoned. The Army started to rumble. A new Lord Protector by the name of John Lambert was suggested, but his role would be more of a military dictator than a protector. The people of good standing were poised with either a plundering army or a coalition between the army and political and religious radicals. A return to Monarchy, even with Bishops and House of Lords, but with guarantees for law and order started to sound like a good alternative. Cromwell's trusted man General Monk walked to London with his Army and Charles II was elected as King in 1660 after giving guarantees for amnesty and army salaries and the role of Parliament.
 
De Villars reported a problem with sequence for Drake starting with ENG_21037 "Elizabeth's Support for the Privateering of Sir Francis Drake". Because all other events related to Drake are slept if Drake is used as explorer only, there is no reason to not sleep this event:
Code:

}
#-#In 1585 and early 1586, Sir Francis Drake, operating with letters of marque from Elizabeth, conducted a series of operations that electrified England and infuriated Spain. He raided Vigo, the Canaries, and the Cape Verde Islands, then crossed the Atlantic and attacked Hispaniola and Cartagena. He returned to England with a vast amount of plunder.

Choosing Drake as explorer implies conflict with Spain is avoided (or at least unwanted) and Drake is an explorer that could be anywhere on the map and not necessarily where he is mentioned in the event in 1585 and 1586... This is not coherent.

#-#As England and Spain became rivals, England turned to privateering as a means of damaging Spain. The most prominent among these privateers was Sir Francis Drake. England can choose to support his privateering adventures, balancing occasional infusions of cash from plundered Spanish galleons with earning the enmity of Spain.

There is no need to sleep SPA_21040 because it is the direct consequence (triggered by) ENG_21039, slept in the same action.

Date is extended to 1577 because a single date in January 1570 is not really appropriate for such event and Drake as explorer is:
Code: 
historicalleader = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 046330 }
	category = explorer
	name = "Drake"
	startdate = {
		year = 1577

	shock = 4

Yoda, can I ask you not to add anymore Glorious Revolution stuff to the next 1.56 beta until I've finished the entire sequence, please? It's just that I haven't finished the monarchs, leaders and events yet, and therefore some events/event chains will be broken. I intend to work on it further about 1500GMT today, after my last lecture. It will take a while longer to finish, though...

(Oh, you only included them for tests. Good. Sorry! :D)
 
I'm a bit bogged down with this, Yoda. :(

Can you please tell the events I need to edit, for the Glorious Revolution stuff? There seems so much to do, but there probably isn't...

Yes, we have time before submission and it helps since other modders can test and check proposed modifications.

Updated this post I did regarding more 17th century English leaders (added Monmouth & Feversham).

Please update your latest beta accordingly.

Ids for two last added leaders should be 046405 and 046406.

I'm not sure... I found modifications to be done and posted them here. All is included in beta 1. Better check beta 1 now.


Remember we need an event for the three possible regents of Henry VI.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotton. I'm toying with the whole WotR sequence at present; I'm giving it something of an overhaul (nothing too exotic...) and trying to present the player with more options. An obvious alternative would be for Richard of Gloucester to not have his nephews put to death in the Tower, thereby simply serving as regent until Edward V comes of age. He is then survived by his brother (Richard of Shrewsbury, as Richard III) who reigns until 1547, at which point we rejoin history with Edward VI (Tudor).

Of course, Gloucester can always usurp the throne anyway (choice A, historical), in which case things go as usual, with Henry Tudor killing him at Bosworth, and so on.

I'm also working on events for Edward VI's regency (he never reached his majority, dying at 15), and of course Queen Jane, who should be able to reign as queen regnant, in which case England will become Reformed and a lot more puritanical.

The Glorious Revolution sequence is about half-done, so I ask you to bare with me while I finish it, because it means re-doing a lot of events, leaders and monarchs for both England and Scotland, and they all have to interlink properly...

Something about Henry Stuart as a Cromwellian puppet king after his father's execution (and a brief interregnum) could be possible as well. He died in 1660, though...

Here's an event text I've done for an alt. Act of Union event:

#-#During the final stages of the War of Spanish Succession (1700-1714), Anne, Queen of Scots and half-sister of James III of England, died. Despite giving birth to some 17 children, all but one of the queen's heirs died stillborn or in infancy. As her closest surviving relative, James Stuart became James VIII, King of Scots upon his half-sister's death. Despite the state of war between the two kingdoms, neither the Scots' Parliament nor Church could think of a realistic alternative to James as king. They didn't want a foreigner, and the obvious economic benefits awaiting them down south seemed to outweigh James' staunch Roman Catholicism. By May, Parliament had voted almost unanimously to merge the two kingdoms into James VI's dream of a single, unified Kingdom of Great Britain, complete with his original design for the Union Flag.

Basically, this is for if James II reigns until 1701, at which point he is succeeded (peacefully) by his son, the Old Pretender. Come the War of Spanish Succession, had James II been king, he would have sided with King Louis against the Grand Alliance, thus James III would have continued this policy. It'll all make sense when I've finished! :p

I also propose having the Stuarts as non-dormant monarchs, with the Hannovarians and William III/Mary II as dormant. The reason being, they are the ones who in fact upset the natural order of things in England, and it's just a lot easier for all these sleep/wake monarch commands. It won't alter the fact that George I will become king in most AI games (he's still the historical choice), it's just easier for me when it comes to modding. ;)

So, lots of good stuff for the British Isles. I'll post it all here when it's done, a new post for each bit (WotR, Glorious Rev., etc.)

I'll post my (many) proposed changes ASAP.

#-#In 1657, Cromwell was offered the crown by Parliament as part of a revised constitutional settlement, presenting him with a dilemma, since he had been instrumental in abolishing the Stuart monarchy. Cromwell agonised for six weeks over the offer. He was attracted by the prospect of stability it held out, but in a speech on 13 April 1657 he made clear that God's providence had spoken against the office of king: “I would not seek to set up that which Providence hath destroyed and laid in the dust, and I would not build Jericho again”. Instead, Cromwell was ceremonially re-installed as Lord Protector at Westminster Hall, sitting upon King Edward's Chair, which was specially moved from Westminster Abbey for the occasion. Notably, the office of Lord Protector was still not to become hereditary, though Cromwell was now able to nominate his own successor. Cromwell himself, however, was at pains to minimise his role, describing himself as a constable or watchman, not as a supreme head of state.
