Cultural migrations

[EvilCartyen]

Maybe if you take a look at the module in my signature, you can think of a way to track culture in that? It'd be an awesome addition to it..

[The Patrician]

In case you have a province without an accepted culture, it sends 500 pop from that province to a colony, and changes the colony's culture to the culture of the province that sent the pop.

Works like a charm!

Damn that's wierd. I was thinking about coding an event that does precisely what the above does just today.

good idea and mod i like it and will use it

[aenariel]

I found a (crucial) bug in the main events, forgot to add "ai = yes" to the trigger. DO it, or the game will freeze if the event pops up for you.

I'm working on a set of events related to colonization, and have a few ideas on how to make minorities based on my previous experience with the religious migrations mini-mod. I will try on my free time (that won't be much in the next few weeks) to do something out of it, but I can't promise much for now.
What I can promise is that these events have allowed me to code in a matter of minutes things I thought impossible, like making a province in Brazil become Swahili because Portugal held Zanzibar and brought over some slaves.

Anyone and everyone has permission and should definitely use this set.

[Stevo76]

so where do we add the ai=yes thing?

and also, you posted two different sets of code, is the first one a seperate event or an earlier version?

I also played with it for 8 years, didn't see any cultural change, how long does it usually take?

[aenariel]

The set of events I posted do nothing by themselves, this is a "complement" for modders only. They lack the "input-events" to do anything by themselves!

Anyway, I fixed a few bugs, including that AI one, so here's the latest version for whoever's interested.

I also coded a few events for my game that you might be interested to look at so you can understand better what this set does. Note my game is heavily modded and this wouldn't work on your side without some adaptation work, but this is more for modders to understand where I'm coming from and how to apply this to their work. Here they are:

######### COLONIAL MIGRATIONS #########

#First event. If you have any province not of your main culture, and any colony above 600 pop, this can trigger and turn your colony into a city, and then turns its culture to the one of the province where the colonists came from.

province_event = {

	id = 454549

	trigger = {
		NOT = { has_global_flag = copyculture }
		OR = { 
			has_province_modifier = "colonial_boost1"
			has_province_modifier = "colonial_boost2"
			has_province_modifier = "colonial_boost3"
		}
		is_core = THIS
		is_overseas = no
		has_owner_culture = no
		owner = {
			any_owned_province = {
				is_colony = yes

	}

	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 480

				citysize = 400
			}
		}
		citysize = -500
		set_province_flag = spread_culture
		
	}
}

#Second event. Same as first, but triggers if you have any overseas province with slaves, then turns the colony to the culture of that province.

province_event = {

	id = 454551

	trigger = {
		has_province_modifier = slave_boost
		has_owner_culture = no
		citysize = 2000

			}
		}
		citysize = -500
		set_province_flag = spread_culture
	}	
}

#Third event. This one doesn't work with colonies anymore. ;) It is basically the same as the first one, but triggers if you have any overseas province with more than 1000 pop and less than 2000 pop. Sends 1200 pop from a wrong culture province there, and changes the receiver's culture accordingly.

province_event = {

	id = 454550

	trigger = {
		NOT = { has_global_flag = copyculture }
		OR = { 
			has_province_modifier = "colonial_boost1"
			has_province_modifier = "colonial_boost2"
			has_province_modifier = "colonial_boost3"
		}
		is_overseas = no
		is_core = THIS
		has_owner_culture = no
		owner = {
			any_owned_province = {
				is_colony = no
				is_overseas = yes
				has_owner_culture = yes	
				NOT = { citysize = 2000 }
			}
		}
	}

	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 1200
		modifier = {
			factor = 0.8
			owner = { NOT = { accepted_culture = THIS } }
		}
		modifier = {
			factor = 4.0
			is_overseas = yes
		}
		modifier = {

			owner = { idea = land_of_opportunity }
		}
		modifier = {
			factor = 0.9
			revolt_risk = 5
		}
		modifier = {

			revolt_risk = 10
		}	
	}
	
	title = "EVTNAME454550"
	desc = "EVTDESC454550"

	immediate = {
		set_global_flag = copyculture
		set_global_flag = migration_in_progress
	}
	
	option = {

				citysize = 1200

		}
		citysize = -1500

	}
}

I hope this clears up some doubts about what this really is.
Cheers.
