Well, FUC typically starts off with a lot more provinces than two. I don't really see why you'd be against this proposal which solves a gamey problem. In fact, the only reason I could see you protesting is if we were forcing you to code it. ;)

:) .........the issue (against :confused: ) here is that we are not letting the game decide on the time for FRA to retake these lands against a smaller opponent.
Granted , it was needed for SPA and I pushed for it and you did a fine job, but why do we need to continue when other nations might have some french lands.
Money and military strength , france exceed all except SPA, so even if ENG had some lands , the french will take ENG on.

The real problem and you must have seen this is that FRA in most games far exceeds its land grabs even basically wiping out BUR by 1460 , by giving them an easier time to retake FUC lands (due to giving FUC all of their lands initially), we are encouraging a non-historical dilemma/problem , even though we are discussing about placing a deterministic solution.............one reason I have never pushed for the 250 plus files for the 30YW.
 
The only reason that those nations are getting the lands is because of the way the inheritance trigger works. France would only be getting back lands that FUC still owned just prior to the inheritance event occurring. Therefore we aren't being deterministic (forcing nations to give back any province that was ever French - if this was proposed I'd be against it to) but fixing a problem that comes with that event command. France will simply be getting what it would have gotten in the inheritance event if that command wasn't messed up.

Well I have to agree even though I have never seen the FUC "in full flight" , but only with 2 provinces and usually taken by BRI, LOR or another minor.

how many provinces are they supposed to get ?

They can revolt with 12 (which they often manage as there are several events and one historical event that have France release them) and via event get 5 others. However, they often don't get so many as they have several overlaps with FPR.
 
Numbering problem for this event (and Vendée, and possibly capital not reformed):
Code:

#-#In 1576, the Estates-General of Blois were held as promised by Henri III in the Edict of Beaulieu. Of focal importance at the meeting of the Estates was acceptance of the policy of religious unity. Unfortunately, the Catholics at the meeting were unwilling to accept the tolerant policy of the King. Having expected the worst, the Huguenots raised the flag of rebellion. Although warfare would be short, a new period of virtual anarchy in the provinces began.

Event should be moved to AGCEEP_Specific_Huguenots.eue and FRA_170182 should be amended accordingly.

Typo and renumbering for this entry in text.csv:
EVENTHIST12049172002;During a siege of Paris using the combined forces of Henri III and Henri of Navarre, a Catholic monk assassinated Henri III. The King's bodyguards immediately threw themselves at Henri of Navarre's feet and swore fealty to him. The Catholic League responded by proclaiming Cardinal de Bourbon the true king of France. But Henri surprised everyone by abjuring Protestantism. Paris soon surrendered and his legitimacy soared. The Catholic League suffered continued defeats and eventually dispersed.;;;;;;;;;;


I had a problem recently with this situation:


France can't reach Huguenots and Ultra-Catholics as Spanish vassals won't DoW anymore. France can't end Wars of Religion and will not recover before 1610. Only "hope" is Savoy...

Proposal:
Code:
#(1589-1610) The fight goes on - Ahistorical
event = {
	id = 172005
	trigger = {
		vassal = { country = SPA country = FUC }
		countrysize = [COLOR=Yellow]12[/COLOR]
		exists = FPR
		NOT = { war = { country = FUC country = FPR } }
	}
	random = no
	country = FUC
	name = "EVENTNAME172005" #The fight goes on
	desc = "EVENTHIST172005"
	#-#

	date = { day = 16 month = september year = 1589 }
	offset = 5
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1610 }

	action_a = {
		name = "WAR"
		command = { type = breakvassal which = SPA }
		command = { type = war which = FPR }
		command = { type = stability value = 6 }
	}
}
EVENTNAME172005;The fight goes on;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST172005;Being powerful enough, the Cardinal of Bourbon continues the fight...;;;;;;;;;;

With this safety event, there is a chance to see Huguenots disappearing before 1610 in such situation, since the breakvassal command ensures FUC will be able to DoW again after this event... and before 1610.

EDIT: countrysize lowered in proposed new event.

#-#With the outbreak of open warfare between the factions of Conde and Guise, royal authority, such as it was in the hands of a boy-king and a widow, all but dissolved in France. Having been forced into the arms of the Guise faction, Catherine de Medici's reluctant sanction gave the Guise Catholic faction the aura of legitimacy, but for the prince of Conde and his Huguenot followers Catherine's support for Guise relieved them of any moral obligation toward the Crown. The consequence was the secession of Huguenot-controlled territories from the French kingdom in everything but name and prolonged civil war.

EVENTNAME169013;La Rochelle;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST169013;During the Renaissance, La Rochelle adopted Protestant ideas, and became a centre for the Huguenots. \n \nThe city was besieged during the French Wars of Religion: the conflict started in November 1572 when inhabitants of the city refused to receive Armand de Gontaut, baron de Biron as royal governor. From 11 February 1573, the siege was led by the Duke of Anjou (the future Henri III). The end of hostilities was brought on by the election (11 - 15 May 1573) of the Duke of Anjou to the throne of Poland. An end to the siege was negotiated on 24 June 1573 and the Catholic troops lifted the siege on 6 July 1573. The Edict of Boulogne (signed in July 1573) brought an end to this phase of the civil war.;;;;;;;;;;

#-#In September of 1595, Henri IV finally reached an agreement with Pope Clement VIII about his return to the Catholic faith. In return for Clement VIII's absolution, Henri was to recognize the insufficiency of his abjuration, publish the decrees of the Council of Trent, restore Catholicism in Béarn, and appoint only Catholics to high office.

#-#In June 1584 the king's younger brother and heir appararent the duke of Anjou died, and with him died the hope many Frenchman had placed on his succession to the throne. Henry III had no son and was unlikely ever to have one; this left Henry of Navarre as heir, thereby raising the spectre that the next king of France might be a heretic. In September 1584 Henry duke of Guise and his brothers the duke of Mayenne and the Cardinal of Guise met at Nancy and founded league to keep Navarre off the throne. Philip II signed a treaty with the new League, and military operations began at once. By the end of the year, much of north and central France was under Guise control, and France was once again at war.

#-#On May 12th, Henri of Guise entered the capital, in spite of the fact that he had been ordered away by Henri III. In an effort to preserve his power, the king had hired 4,000 Swiss guards to be deployed throughout Paris. Fearing that the troops were being placed for another royal massacre, public support for the Catholic League soared. Although Henri was in the position to arrest Guise and the leaders of the League, he prevaricated and lost the initiative. Frightened by shouts of 'Long live the duke of Guise' from while in the palace, Henri decided to abandon Paris. The revolution in Paris was made complete as Guise and the Sixteen (the Catholic League organization of Paris) supervised the takeover of nearly every major institution in the city. All the gates of the city were eventually secured and the Sixteen made it clear that no one was to leave or enter without express command of the new revolutionary government. Henri III was no longer master of his capital or the institutions of the government within. In July of 1588, Henri III signed the Edict of Union and was forced to recognize nearly all the demands of Guise and the Sixteen. The Cardinal of Bourbon was to be his rightful heir and he was forced to recognize the legitimacy of the revolutionary government in Paris. Henri was to never step foot in Paris, again.

In one of my test in 1610 I currently have the situation of FUC with 16 provinces and vassal to Spain, FRA at 4 core provinces (plus the North American ones) and FPR with one province.

So the suggested event 172005 can be a good solution but the countrysize could be maybe lowered.
 
YodaMaster said:
Something like 12?
Yes , maybe. Consider that in my game Brittany was still existing and with 4 provinces (the cores plus Maine) while England held 2 provinces: Caux and Picardie. FPR was in Gascogne only, Protugal held Bearn because of his alliance with France and FUC held Calais, Lorraine and Artois too and Kleves outside France (so FUC had 17 provinces)

One point about the game in 1617: even if my events about the imperial crown worked well, Austria an the Spain becomes emperor as historically happened, no Italian wars was fought becasue of Milan conquered by Mantua and by Genoa afterwards, both in the first 50 years. Naples was diplo-annexed by Aragon. Even if Mamluks were conquered, the Ottomans are being stopped by a powerful Polish-Hungarian-Venetian alliance, strengthened by Polish acquisition of Lithuania. That is mainly because Hungary conquered Bulgaria early, thus sleeping the whole Lajos sequence from 1520 to 1540. Dutch revolts went well and very hastily and Spain kept Southern Low Countries, Austria is getting HRE conquests with the imperial title, so I believe German minors should be released fnow and then: waiting for the inclusion of HRE elector status in the triggers. England annexed Scotland and started colonization. Spain didn't annexed Incas and Russia is going east. France managed to conquer a good part of HRE, also diplo-annexing Bavaria but the Wars of Religion let her lose every province.

EDIT: re-edited post.
 
Ok for 12, only goal of this is seing one of the factions disappearing at the right time if France is too weak to do it herself or because of "wrong" borders or Spanish vassal status of Ultra-Catholics.
 
It has come to my attention that the war command (in choice c) in this event doesn't always fire (same issue for choice B in the alternate version of this event). As a result, France typically gets a pretty easy opt out of the Wars of Religion (+4 revoltrisk for the rest of the period).

On 18 August 1572 the marriage of Marguerite and Navarre was celebrated in Paris. Four days later, Coligny was shot by an assassin from the window of a house owned by the Guise family. On the night of August 23, Charles IX apparently decided that since renewed civil war was inevitable, it was better to destroy the Huguenots in Paris than wait for open warfare. The result was a massacre the next day, the Feast of St. Bartholomew, in which Coligny was dragged from his bed and slaughtered together with several thousand Huguenots.

As a fix, I suggest an addition to the following event (which is triggered by both version of the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre)

Code:
#(1572) Consequence of Coligny's war policy
event = {
	id = 170253 #triggered by FPR_169014 / FPR_169015
	random = no
	country = FRA
	name = "EVENTNAME169014" #Consequence of Coligny's war policy
	desc = "EVENTHIST170253"
	#-#
	action_a = {
		name = "OK"
		command = { type = inherit which = FPR }
		[color=yellow]command = { type = revoltrisk which = 360 value = 3 }[/color]
	}
}
When the civil wars began in 1562, Coligny decided to take arms only after long hesitation, and he was always ready to negotiate. In none of these wars did he show superior genius, but he acted throughout with great prudence and extraordinary tenacity. He was ''le héros de la mauvaise fortune''.
 
England shouldn't help Huguenots if at war against them:
Code:
#(1562-1600) English Support for the French Huguenots
event = {
	id = 21050
	trigger = {
		exists = FPR
		war = { country = FPR country = FRA }
		OR = {
			religion = protestant
			religion = reformed
		}
		[COLOR=Yellow]NOT = {
			war = { country = FPR country = ENG }
		}[/COLOR]
	}
	random = no
	country = ENG
	name = "EVENTNAME21050" #English Support for the French Huguenots
	desc = "EVENTHIST21050"
	#-#

	date = { day = 1 month = april year = 1562 }
	offset = 1
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1600 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME21050A" #Support the Huguenots
		command = { type = trigger which = 21051 } #FPR: English Aid Arrives for the French Huguenots
		command = { type = trigger which = 21052 } #FRA: England Aids the Enemies of Catholic France
		command = { type = treasury value = -100 }
		command = { type = desertion which = -1 value = 2000 }
		command = { type = relation which = FRA value = -50 }
		command = { type = relation which = FPR value = 50 }
		command = { type = stability value = 1 }
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME21050B" #We Learned Our Lesson - Stay Out of France
		command = { type = stability value = -1 }
		command = { type = relation which = FPR value = -25 }
	}
}
#-#With the Huguenots of France having essentially declared independence from France, Elizabeth would have come under domestic pressure to support the Protestants across the Channel against the Catholic French.
 
About religion, Huguenots should stay Reformed (even if some events already enforce it) and French Catholics CRC (or at least Catholic). I suggest a set of 20 random events for each faction:

For Huguenots:
Code:
event = {
	id = 169020
	trigger = {
		NOT = {
			religion = reformed
		}
		ai = yes
	}
	random = yes
	country = FPR
	name = "AI_EVENT"
	desc = ""

	action_a = {
		name = "OK"
		command = { type = religion which = reformed }
		command = { type = stability value = 3 }
	}
}
For french Catholics:
Code:
event = {
	id = 172015
	trigger = {
		NOT = {
			religion = catholic
			religion = counterreform
		}
		ai = yes
	}
	random = yes
	country = FUC
	name = "AI_EVENT"
	desc = ""

	action_a = {
		name = "OK"
		command = { type = religion which = counterreform }
		command = { type = stability value = 3 }
	}
}

Actually I've been thinking the opposite. If they convert away (I think Protestant is still okay for the Huguenots) then I think they should be annexed.
But it is very easy for a French player to gain force-conversion with only 50% warscore in a single war. Everything could be over in just few years instead of 30. It is the same for a Catholic France and Huguenots or a Protestant France and French Catholics.

My first intention was to fight engine religious state conversion due to provinces only but it applies to wars too. IMHO, factions shouldn't be annexed only because of religion and peace proposal. Victory should be more difficult.

And NOT Reformed in trigger was intentional in my proposal for Huguenots. With this, we avoid Huguenots becoming Catholic because of provinces after a conversion to Protestantism first for same reason. Better stop them before weird Catholic conversion arises. Problem is not the same for French Catholics: conversion to Catholicism because of provinces can't happen before Edict of Tolerance event (long after supposed end of the troubles for France).

I don't think that your random events will actually do the trick as there is a very high likelihood of them never firing. Perhaps if one of the factions disappears early (as a result of religion change) we could have backup events that increase countrywide revoltrisk. So one may have gotten rid of the faction but still will have negative consequences.
 
Also, let's not kid ourselves. It is very easy for AI France to take out the Huguenots (however, they sometimes come back because of province revolts) so we can't really make it hard for the player...short of my new idea about more revoltrisk if you destroy a faction early.

They do in my current test and this is because I often observed this situation before that I proposed it but I agree these random events are only "safety".

We can implement both. Random events fire only once a year. Faction could be force-converted for a sufficient long period before turning back to "normal" religion. There is time for disappearance then.

And don't forget my first intention was only for weird engine conversion.

I agree too. My intention was not increasing difficulty for players neither but I feared it could be the case with your proposal before you mentioned increased revoltrisk.
