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

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? ;)

:D Rafiki

That would be better than the time a guy tried to hold up a gun store during a gun convention with an off-duty cop on the premises. :D
 
Can this be put in VIP for humour value? ;) :p
 
Now, see, you fellows have got me to thinking that we should throw in 'Easter Eggs' occasionally in VIP, the 1% chance that something completely unexpected will occur.

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
	}
}

I think we sort of came to the consensus that it should be deleted. IIRC, the actual event was predicated on a bunch of issues--Reconstruction, Johnson's Tennesee background, Lincoln's demise, etc.--all of which are much more random now in VIP (for example, the Democrats could be the ruling party in 1864 but still fighting the ACW).

I was thinking the same thing. You don't want to unbalance things by doing this too often, but a few occasional ones like this hilarious gem would be a lot of fun and would give the player a nice surprise. :)

Are there any plans in the works for a dynamic Reconstruction or are you still wrapping up the ACW, Aragos? I was thinking a Presidential impeachment might be an interesting piece of the overall Reconstruction picture. Hmm, the more I think of this, the more it's an intriguing idea. I might think about this more over on the VIP NA thread. :)

Looking at your quote, I think that the "Sheriff Bart Comes to Johnsonville" should be an event if the USA owns Nevada by 1880.

Get the hence Satan!!

LOL

I've thought of that, but I think I'll base a lot of the Recon issues on a couple of things, if I can.

First, what the main and secondary issues are at the time; second, USA war exhaustion; third, how long the war lasted. Just off the top of my head though, I'll need to think about it more after the next VIP comes out.

On the good side, I go on vacation next week (for two weeks; Uncle Sam occasionally lets me out of the Pentagon!), so I can spend some time working on the events.
 
Hi, i have worked this mod... when i start a game appears an error that there's is a missing file... is about a heavy cruiser... what it should be?
