ACW mod

Darkrenown · Jun 22, 2004

This was brought up recently by Sadseh, but his thread is now in the bug forum, since I want people to see this I'll post this here:
http://victoria.nsen.ch/wiki/images/b/b4/ACW_mod.rar
Changes:
"Slavery Hotly Debated In xxx" edited so that they cannot appear after the Civil War.
Bleeding Kansas will not happen after the ACW
Lincoln Asassinated can happen even if he was not elected
Reconstruction fires asuming the ACW event was fired and the USA and CSA are not currently at war.

What should happen to the Reconstruction-event if the US backs down in the ACW-ecent (action_b)? Perhaps action_b should sleep Reconstruction? If not, Reconstruction will fire within 30 days from the ACW event.

I also fixed these in the next release of VIP.

Darkrenown · Jun 22, 2004

Yeah, but some people don't use VIP or don't want to wait

Well, they are just wrong arent they

Hopefully the next vanilla patch will fix the ACW event tree. I still think it is odd when you can have the ACW in 1854, but no chance of ending slavery unless you have a 10 year war and the President is assassinated.

And him being assassinated counts on the republicans being in power and only has a 10% chance to fire on one day

Yeah, I know what the events say--but it seems that everytime I play the USA, poor Uncle Abe is dodging bullets from 67 assassins firing from 247 directions, including the Cabal Illuminati, the UFO/Elvis mafia and the entire Von Trapp family, including the dog.

Abe always buys it. I'm tempted to write an event that will happen 1% of the time-- "Lincoln shoots Booth during Assassination Attempt"--just to give the poor guy a chance

I'd probably die laughing if I saw that happen

And at your request, the new event:

event = {
id = 304997
random = no
country = USA
picture = lincoln_gun

name = "Lincoln Kills Booth"
desc = "John Wilkes Booth, noted actor, has went down in history as the first assassin to be killed by a standing president. During the botched assassination attempt, Booth dropped his pistol, which was recovered by the backwoods President, and used against the would-be assassin. From this event came the slang term 'Boothed', which came to mean any idiotic, foolhardy plan that failed spectaularly."

style = 0

date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1864 }
offset = 300
deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1866 }

action_a = {
name = "He sure as hell Boothed that one."
command = { type = pop_consciousness which = dixie value = -5 }
}
}

I am humbled by your praise, Pasha Sahib.

Darkrenown · Jun 22, 2004

Hehe, but you might want to add:
trigger = {
random = 1
NOT = { event = 14181 }
}

And have that event sleep 14181

Speaking of killing you, Aragos, you should read Darkrenown's response to your post in our AAR thread. And you should both read mine.

Already replied. I can't start this weekend-prior commitment on Saturday and Sunday. But I start 2 week's vacation the next Monday so I have nothing better to do

Darkrenown · Jun 22, 2004

Back to the ACW on a more serious note, have you given any effects to 14183?

Which event is 14183? I've been knee deep in VIP events lately, I've forgotten what most of the older events are.
Plus, I'm at work and don't have the usa.txt file here (yeah, I know, I should know better

Darkrenown · Jun 22, 2004

I should just look in your files, but you know how huge they are now

Code:

#########################################################################
#  President Johnson Impeached
#########################################################################
event = {
	id = 14183
	random = no
	country = USA

	# Triggered by 14182

	name = "EVT_14183_NAME"
	desc = "EVT_14183_DESC"
	style = 0

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME14183A" # Impeach, but do not remove
		command = { } # TODO
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME14183B" # Impeach and remove
		command = { } # TODO
	}
}

:rofl:

It's stuff like this that makes be think we should have an "Event of the Month"-competition (à la POTM)

Too bad Darwin hasn't come around by the time this event can fire, otherwise you could attribute the first Darwin Award to Booth as part of this event?
