I can help mod events though I have almost no expiriance in the subject; though I do want to learn for my own modding.

Berlichingen said:Every one of those BBs are ones from WWI, I think it is impossible you'd ever get Britian to surrender with the terms being the dismantling of her fleet, that is Britian's lifeline, without it she is nothing, maybe with the French, but not the British. Only ships I added was a few CVs and half a dozen CLs and 2-3 CAs, seems reasonable for 25 years or so of naval development and I'm sure that if the Royals moved to Canada much of the government, naval administration and the national treasury would be there as well. I don't know the specifics of Sarmatian's British civil war, but I was assuming most of old power had moved to Canada.
Perhaps we should ask Sarmatian on some more details.

molobo said:I will soon give you my views on events regarding Poland and Galicia, right now they seem to be very messed up and in need of reworking. Likewise the Polish-German relations in events aren't in good shape.
anti-commi said:Uhh... austria would have demanded what is the milan territory ( i think )
Berlichingen said:Yes, balancing is a whole other bag of worms that isn't doable till we actually get some playtesting, for now its just going off what is plausible for every nation.
I got Communist France done more or less, and beginning of Nationalist France.
One question, Nationalist France isn't Monarchist is it? It has the Monarchy's Fluer-de-lies banner but no king, so I'm wondering if its just a right-wing reactionary country to metropolitan communism or a monarchy.
CCurio said:Sarmy, I'm not really sure if I promised too much with the events...school is going to keep me pretty occupied and I friend of mine is having pretty big troubles in her life...
This all is making thinking about event coding pretty hard for me...
But here are some general ideas...
I'll see if I can get back working on the actualy events but I don't know what near future will bring...
Timotheos said:I notice that in the 'To Do' column on the first post it does not mention the creation of new events. Is this because you are planning to do them mostly yourself, or because they are being left till after everything else is sorted out, or another reason entirely?

* SMS Graf Schwerin was a 'battlebattlecruiser'
Timotheos said:O.k., I've taken a look through the pre-alpha release and have gathered various points as they came to me. They're rather haphazard and not all of them are too important but I thought I'd put them on here anyway:
1) Germany controls a vast number of Pacific islands. Would that happen though. A lot of the islands are not of great strategic or economic value. Considering they are effectively having to police the world and so are rather stretched I'd imagine they would choose to only directly control the more important ones - major naval bases and airfield and VP locations, while putting the rest under the control of one friendly power or another (maybe the AOG if you don't mind it spreading beyond China?).
2) I think Nationalist France and Royalist Britain should have the provinces in their old homelands as national provinces right from the start - they do have a very solid claim on them after all. I suppose the difficulty is that the AI might interfere with the rough timetable of events then.
3) How will Ireland fit into the clash between the two British factions. I can picture the Syndicalists in the UK trying for a revolution/coup in Ireland and the Royalists could see it as a potential jumping off point on their way home. Ireland might feel it needs a protector in that case. Germany is an obvious choice but once it starts to collapse who else can they turn to?
4) Similarly how will Mexico deal with the election problems in the US. I'm sure they would be particularly worried if a militarist faction took control as Mexico is an obvious route of expansion for an aggresive US. Likewise if a civil war occurs could Mexico ressurect its claim to Claifornia and Texas, or make a bid for the Panama Canal (which could anger Germany or a newly formed Union of Central America)
5) If Turkestan wants to take the Claiphate form the Ottomans Persia is stuck in the middle. I can picture a fun three way war going on here as Persia is invaded by two factions.
Thoughts anyone?
Exterous said:See? There you go again, overpowering navies with Battlebattlecruisers (BBCs?) when a simple Battlecruiser will do
Are the bug fixes done for the current aplha, cause I'd love to playtest! (Then I can offer more insightful/annoying suggestions )

Ayeshteni said:good At the very least you have some good event chains. AOG would likely get some of the islands perhaps? I like the idea with ireland myself. Ireland had a strong socialist background. Many of the Irish immigrants to Britain voted for the Liberals under Lloyd george when he was pushing for home rule; when that was sidelined they voted for the Labour or Independent Labour party which were more in line with their ideology. So I can see the poor Irish being aggitated by the British, while the powers that be in Ireland look for support. The Royalists may see Irleand as a jumping point, but likewise they would return through Scotland (hmmm the King landing in the highlands and fighting the ursurpers to London? nah it would never happen :rofl: )

You could steal the WAL (Wallonia) tag . . .
well i just thought ( i mean now ) that italy betrayed the Triple Alliance ( Central Powers ) in WWI and would have been severely punishedSarmatia1871 said:Well, Venetia and Lombardy were historically extremely difficult for Austria to control when it had them in the first half of the nineteenth century - so, it's doubtful whether Austria would have felt capable (or Germany would have permitted it!) to exercise direct control over the whole of North-West Italy - particularly if there was already the option of giving it to a sub-vassal state.
On a related note, I didn't really even want to give Austria Venice -> The ownership of the province more reflects Austrian control over most Adriatic naval facilities and control over and expansion of Trieste (which for some odd reason doesn't seem to have its own province in HOI2!).
Sarmatia1871 said:It's a good idea, but for some reason Wales only has one province - its survival as an indpendent country would not be easy...
Plus two of the starting British cabinet ministers (HoG and FM) are Welsh - And these took some serious finding!

Wales just has such a cool flag :rofl:
