EVENTHIST338497;St. Joseph was very moved by the misery of the poor children of Rome. Therefore, he opened a free school for them in 1597. This school, which was open to every child regardless of religion, is believed to be the world's first modern public elementary school. On March 25, 1617, with the permission of Pope Paul V, St. Joseph Calasanz and fourteen other men became the first members of a new religious congregation. On November 18, 1621, Pope Gregory XV raised the congregation to the rank of religious order under solemn vows, calling it The Order of the Pious Schools. During his lifetime the Piarists began to grow in great numbers and to found many schools.;;;;;;;;;;

Shouldn't that innovative change be too much expecially for Papal States during a period of time where obscurantism was at its best? Maybe a little infra boost woud be better suited.

The "Leggi Livornine" were laws which ruled between 1590 and 1603. These laws helped the trading activities of the merchant, freedom of religion and amnesty for some penance. Thanks to these laws, Livorno became a cosmopolitan city and one of the most important ports of the entire Mediterranean area. Many foreigners moved to Livorno, Armenians, Dutch, English, Greeks, and Jews, were among those who relocated to live and trade. Some Moriscos also moved to Livorno. On the 19th of March 1606, the Granduca di Toscana Ferdinando I de' Medici, in the Fortezza Vecchia Chapel of Saint Francis of Assisi elevated Livorno at the rank of city. During the Napoleonic Wars, trade with England was prohibited and the economy of Livorno suffered greatly.

Will a random of yes work in this case?

Florenz/Firenze at that time historically had conquered several smaller citystates and became the Duchy of Tuscany. Shouldn´t the trigger include e.g.
countrysize=2 or
control/own of province 402 (Siena) in addition to 401?
Event 337833 in which Austria gains a CoT in Austria has a countrysize=8 trigger in comparison.

As your text mentions immigrants of jews and moriscos, orthodox armenians and dutch protestants should´t the event check how innovative/narrowminded the owner of 401 is at the time the event fires? e.g. too narrowminded and you don´t gain the CoT? And not counterreformed catholic?

Yes, I think countrysize = 2 could be enough. In a (next?) future we could add the owning of Pisa province... ;)

I agree with the inclusion of innovation test, let's say >=6?
I don't know about testing counterreform as the country could have this religion at least until after 1660s. But we may use it, I think.

Regarding my last post about testing Venetian COT, I changed my idea when noticing that Venice or Vienna should get the eastern area of Italy, while Genoa or Livorno should affect the sea trade of western Italy.

Concerning a possible COT on Trieste, what about then a HAB event to improve the port in Istria by building a shipyard? It would be Trieste, duty free Port or such.
The capital of Istria (368) is Pola, but I believe we could ignore it.

That event should only give a shipyard and a bit of naval and infra tech research; owning the COT in Vienna or testing corresponding event should be the trigger while 1720 could be used as starting date. Of course two options should be available.
 
.... During the Napoleonic Wars, trade with England was prohibited and the economy of Livorno suffered greatly. ...

Should that last sentence be in the description of the creation of the CoT? Because when the CoT is created economy certainly does not suffer and the Napoleonic Wars are far in the future at that point in time.

I noticed only now that the CoT removal event fires *only* for Spain. Is that intended that the Firenze CoT in any other case will last until the end of the game? Or should it not rather vanish under the same conditions as the Liguria/Genua CoT regardless who owns the province? Reading the description of the liguria removal event when the mediterranean trade becomes less important then Firenze´s CoT should share the same fate as Liguria - even if it´s not SPA who owns Firenze.

i think the livorno COT should close if FRA is a neighbour and after the year 1796

We only have a gaurantee that the COT will close if SPA own firenze, other italian nations as well as HAB would keep it going

only if HAB owns istria , during or after the reign of Leopold and VEN does not have a COT
 
For the first event I would suggest a trigger testing not at war.

I disagree , I think the trigger should be ATWAR=yes, the venetian senate would not need these men in peace

For the second event I would suggest to add these:
triggers: not at war ; stability more than -1

offset: 90

i do not undersatand why you want a deathdate
or stab trigger

OK, maybe atwar=NO could make sense.............hard to get supply

IIRC, this is because Yodamaster said a few years ago that an event with start/end date is preferable due to possible stability issues in eu2 engine or something like that... :confused:

A stab trigger is just because only a government with a certain stability (more than -1 in this case) wastes time with this sort of things instead of implementing/investing/developing... ;)

Of these new families many by 1700 had fallen to desperate financial problems. This condition of fallen nobility was termed Barnabotti due to these nobles meeting in the area of Campo San Barnaba. Barnabotti who, despite having lost many of their financial resources, continued to maintain the right to sit on the Greater Council, continued to vote in the assembly and decided the fate of the city and the state. Clothing and food for the Barnabotti was provided by the state. The barnabotti had frequent conflicts with the remaining body of the wealthy nobility, but at the same time, because of their lack of economic means, sold their votes and this caused certain unwanted nobles to achieve certain positions of power. In 1740, Doge Alvise Pisani tried to amend the voting regulations of the Nobles, remove the votes of the barnabotti and amend the constitution but was outvoted by the Venetian council.

I am talking about the black dresses event which is flavour. In seeing how other flavour events were written, ie musicians and such, testing stability is a trigger condition generally used.

yes , I know..........if you think we need to add a stab trigger because the rest have it, then ok.

I still find it weird that these flavour events have any triggers.

It could be justified by saying that a -3 stability, civil unrest and poverty the woman would rather care for food and shelter than for fancy clothing. Perhaps woman back then were wiser than nowadays.
