Since Eritrea didn't seem to have a tag, thought it was an autonomous state, I used MIN. I'm working on the Ethiopian Civil War next, which will continue this chain I suppose... it did last for thirty years.
 
Well, for eritrea, i based on this pragraph from this article of wikipedia:

Wikipedia said:
A UN plebiscite voted 46 to 10 to have Eritrea be federated with Ethiopia which was later stipulated on December 2 of 1950 in resolution 390 (V). Eritrea would have its own parliament and administration and would be represented in what had been the Ethiopian parliament and was now the federal parliament. In 1961 the 30-year Eritrean Struggle for Independence, began after years of peaceful student protests against Ethiopian violation of Eritrean democratic rights and autonomy had culminated in violent repression and the Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie I's dissolution of the federation in 1961 followed by shutting down the parliament and declaring Eritrea the 14th province of Ethiopia in 1962.

So as long as they had their own parliament , their own administration and they appeared in some old 1955 maps that i had, i decided them to make independent. Were they part of the Ethiopian Federation? well, the they should start as a puppet of Ethiopia and when Ethipia revokes autonomy, then they should annex Eritrea.

Oh and Eritrea has his own tag and is defined as revolter too, hsi tag is U32, check this thread if you want to know what countries are defined and what tag do they have.

Of course that if you people prefer Eritrea starting as a part of Ethiopia, i will change it as soon as i return to Hoi2 modding.

and for event_text.csv:
Code:
EVT_103_DESC;When the fight begun on January 18, 1955, the nationalist air force and navy did not participate due to the overwhelming communist firepower. The battle started at 8:00AM with communist bombers from three groups and ground attack aircraft from 2 groups bombing and strafing the islands. At the same time, bombers from another group and ground attack aircraft from the second group bombed and strafing Dachen Islands as a diversion. At 9:00 AM, 50 long range artilleries shelled Yijiangshan Islands.Around noon, 70+ naval vessels carrying the landing force sailed from Gaodao (??)?Queerao (???)?Toumen Mountain Island (????) in three formations in two waves, with more than 40 escort vessels. 2 hours later, the 10 specially converted naval vessels with rocket launchers bombarded Yijiangshan island in conjunction with bombers from 3 groups and 1 squadron, ground attack aircraft from 2 groups, before landing on 20 landing spots. However, the defenders took advantage of their fortifications and severely disrupted the attackers’ formation after their successful landing. As a result, most of the communist casualties suffered during the battle were at this initial stage.The attackers immediately called for fire support after they met with fierce enemy fire, and the communist aircraft responded by attacking the enemy position with great accuracy by flying at the extremely low altitude, in fact, most of the aircraft in the air support mission flew below the trajectory of artilleries, and the psychological effect on the defenders was far more greater than the actual precision strikes, resulting in the total collapse of the morale. As the demoralized defenders retreated into their underground tunnels, the attackers adjusted their tactics by fighting in small groups, and by using recoilless guns and flame throwers to gradually neutralize the enemy’s positions, including the underground tunnel complex of the nationalist 4th Assault Group, the largest on the island.;;;;;;;;;X

I admit, i'm a noob making events and this is my first event chain.

Yeah, basically the Federation was all and good and official in name, but they coexisted more or less as two very different countries. Ethiopa had control of their army, infact the Ethiopians had an occupying force in Eritrea, and policing the country.

While the Eritreans held seperate political control, vested in a democracy and not in the Emperor. You could compare it to the Commonwealth, Eritea is like Canada, which is probably why the UN thought it was such a good idea. However, like the Commonwealth, the head of state would be Halie Sallassie I.

I have a few other Ethiopian event chains I need to finish, as you can tell I've fallen in love with the would be Socialist state. :D

Hey! wait it is alternate history? have you read the event policy? We don't need alternate history events now, they only will mess up the mod.

Ethiopia became a socialist country in 1974. :p
 
^Ok it's only that your words "would be Socialist State" confused me.
 
I've been wondering, there is a lot of events where nations lose their troops or there are repeated famines, how in events could we simulate it? I was also thinking about the industrializations of the time and the agricultural developments, not just advances, in third world nations like India and China, how should I make events like that?

Add industrial capacity and manpower? How do I figure out how much? I'd like opinions as I work on Ethiopian troop desertions that led to the Derg, any are welcome. I think we need more discussions of some the events I've made, I even put some questions in for anyone looking over them.
 
^Famines.. etc can be represented with a loss of manpower, supplies, a growth of dissent.. etc

Your events have not been incorporated simply because there are other priorities right now like the tech tree, but don't worry because they will be ok?

Oh, oh no thats not what I meant, I was trying to figure out how to figure how much to appropriate, such as industrializing events and agricultural developments.
 
Brote Heckler said:
I notice you don't have "ai chance =" is that possible? Maybe the ai doesn't know what to do so it crashes the game?

No, it could not have caused a CTD. Having that "ai chance" thing is
optional. It's not necessary to add it to an event.
 
Important note, it does not work, if anyone knows why, please post it here.
Try removing parts of the code and narrow down the problem that way - always works for me.
If you can't be bothered to do that, I'll do it eventually.

Also, if you want I can make many more events like that Afghani event chain, but each time you will have to go through them and replace all X-es with appropriate ministers and such because I don't have the codes.

Forget about the Afghan event chain it has been discarded.

Ok if you want to do events just post them here, use ids from 100 to 1000.
 
I have a question - what's the CW policy on Heads of State / Heads of Government?
Are these firm terms be used for what they really mean, or should they be used liberally, the way vanilla HOI uses them?
For instance, in presidential democracy should the head of state be also head of government or should head of government position belong to vice president?
Or in countries like USSR, will you put General Secretary of CPSU in the "Head of Government" position or will you use actual head of government - the Premier?
 
So far we have used it in that way, with the Head of Government and Head of State as separate people, like in the United States the Vice President leads the Senate and the President leads the Executive branch. This is untrue, however, I should remind Kretoxian in the United States right now. When there is a conflicting party to the one in the Executive Branch, the head of government becomes the Speaker of the House, for the obvious reason they retain more power over a lame duck presidency anyways.
