A gift for France from heaven !

Mehe, finished Minor Event:

Code: 
#############################################
###### Essays # 
#############################################
event = {
        id = 5000042
        random = no
        country = FRA
        trigger = {

        }
 
       action_a = {
                name = "This man is blessed by God! Let's support him"
                }
        action_b = {
                name = "A gift for France from heaven!"
                }

}

Just wondering whether or not if you would like the event answers more like this, and of course;

Give me a picture :D

Yes, the religious phrases you started to use are much better.
 
Religion

10. Tribal Religions (Animalism, Shamanism)

All that motley variety is simply called paganism :) .

Yes, we need one slider for religious stuff.
 
DP sliders

Hannibal Barca2 said:
To lock sliders, simply convert to bmp and copy these files to gfx/interface/button area


btn_minus_small


btn_plus_small
Click to expand...


By doing that you would only make invisible the buttons '+' and '-'. And it will be still technically possible to chanage
DPs if your cursor hits the proper point. Moreover it would make also invisible the '+' and '-' for the production sliders
because they share the same graphic object with DPs. We ain't gonna do that.
 
Historical and Hypothetical events

Aha, but why would the Papal states conquer Egypt? :wacko:

It is a very good point. This Mod is supposed to be strictly historical. That's why Portugal AI won't be able to improvise with
the Vassalization of Portugal events (a human Portugal may have that possibility). We no way should have fantasy events
encouraging people to commit ahistorical aggressions. On the contrary we should have events punishing things like that.

On the other hand it's easy to make a parallel hypothetical scenario where all sorts of ahistorical aberrations
will be permitted, but the fanatasy events will be only valid for such a parallel scenario and deactivated for the
strictly historical ones.

Speaking about the strictly historical scenarios we really need the following events based on real historical facts:

1. Russia started colonization of Siberia in 1581 (if I recall correctly). We need events for gradual Russian expansion
Eastward.

2. English humanitarian aid to the Netherlands. England not at war with Spain yet but sends supplies to the Dutch. Annual
events. Step 1 - deduct 500 supplies from the English supply pool. Step 2 - add 500 supplies to the Dutch supply pool.

3. English military aid. Fires once every 2 years. England not at war with Spain yet but sends volunteers to the Netherlands.
Step 1 - delete 2 English infantry regiments. Step 2 give the Dutch 2 infantry units.

This is a whole bunch of new events and they are historical. That what happened in real history.
 
Spain

... and Spain, wich is already by far the most powerfull state in Western Europe, would be almost unbeatable.

Spain won't be unbeatable. There are some tools to balance the game.

Spain will have the mighty OE as a counterbalance in the East.
And the Ottoman manpower will be superior to that of Spain. Also
OE will be supported by her vassals - Algeria, Tunisia, Wallachia, etc.

Moreover we'll have historical events related to the Spanish economy.
The famous State bankruptcy events. They fired repeatedly in real
history and EU2 has like 2-3 of them for Spain in the XVIth century.
Bankruptcy causes inflation. Inflation can be easily simulated by
increasing build cost for regiments and ships. Say default cost for an
infantry regiment is 5 IC, a bankruptcy event inflates it by 2 which is
already painful. If followed by another bankruptcy event - increase
by 2 more which is already disastrous and may turn any superpower
into a backward nation.

The Spanish state bankruptcy events is another group of historical
events we need.

Thus there won't be a question how to stop the Spaniards. Most
likely there will be a question if Christians can survive a possible
Turkish onslaught.

OK, I gotta be away w/o access to the internet for a weak or so.
See you later.
 
I don't think religion should be applied to sliders, there is interesting stuff to do regarding government in this era.

Right/Left could represent Religious tendencies,.
Autoritarian/Democratic could represent Monarchism/Republicanism

That sounds odd like that but let me explain:

*National-Socialist = Empire (ex: China, Austria)
Fascist = Kingdom (ex: France, England, Portugal)
Paternal Autocrat = Duchy (Ex: Bavaria, Tuscany)
Social Conservative = Principality (some small German states?)

Market Liberal = Merchant Republic (ex: Venice, Genoa)
Social Liberal = Administrative Republic (Switzerland?)
*Social Democrat = Radical Republic? (Ex: Cromwell's times, can be usefull for later times)

(Left-Wing Radical = Diocese (any small importance religious states, I have no ideas yet)
*Leninist = Archbishopric (ex: Cologne)
*Stalinist = Papacy (ex: Papal States)

Thoses with * should be very limited. Is it possible to lock the sliders?



Free Market/Central Planning could be Free Trade/Mercantilism

Open/Closed society could be Open-Minded/Narrowminded


Several ideas came from EU3, I think adopting some of them could make sence.

You should have said the infamous state bankruptcy events
instead of famous. :)

Same for Poland. I didn't test the sprites for Persia, China, Japan, Africans and
Amerindians but presume they have the same defect.
Click to expand...

This defect only exists with the sprites you gave me to convert ;)
This means Persia Poland and Russia (not african native, as I think it's more realistic leaving them with spears...)

Shall fix it however :)

It is a brilliant idea to have both historical and hypothetical scenarios. For any taste as they say.
