I need help

[OHgamer]

The defines.lua entries I think are hardcoded, in that you can not add any new terms, but would have to rework existing ones. You can't create "PEACE_COST_ANNEX_TRIBAL = 100," the game simply will not recognize it.

[pixies57]

Thank you
It really sucks .... how do we create a difference between the annexation of a non-civilized and the annexation of a civilized country.
It is illogical to have the same badboy, which is annex Saxony or Sokoto!

[greendevil]

Indeed that's a shame

[Shauf]

There is already a difference if you are civilized yourself. If you research i think it was called Imperialism & revolutionism or something like that it should give the opportunity to annex uncivilized nations for only 8 infamy as a civilized nation

I'm trying to make a new CB as well, however I can't get it to come up, and I think it's just a syntax problem on my part.

Does the syntax come from some scripting language not directly related to the engine? or is it Paradox's own language?

My entry from cb_types.txt

#annihilate
annihilate {
	sprite_index = 2
	is_triggered_only = yes
	months = 12
	
	is_valid = {
		or = {
			and = {
				not {
					any_owned_province = {
						and = {
							is_colonial = no
							not = {controled_by = THIS}
						}
					}
				}
				and = {
					national_provinces_occupied = 50
					
					not = { total_amount_of_divisions = 150}
				}
			}
			national_provinces_occupied = 100
	}

	badboy_factor = 3
	prestige_factor = 7
	peace_cost_factor = 1
	penalty_factor = 1
	
	break_truce_prestige_factor = 5
	break_truce_infamy_factor = 2
	break_truce_militancy_factor = 2
	truce_months = 0
	
	good_relation_prestige_factor = 1
	good_relation_infamy_factor = 1
	good_relation_militancy_factor = 1
	
	on_add = {
		move_issue_percentage = { 
			from = jingoism 
			to = pro_military
			value = 0.25
		}
	}
	
	po_annex = yes
	
	war_name = WAR_CONQUEST_NAME
}

put simply if every non-colonial province is no longer controlled by the owner and more than 50% of all provinces are occupied and they have less than 150 divisions remaining, OR they have 100% of their provinces occupied.

I want this to come up as a possible wargoal during a war, not to start one. This is because I don't want the condition for victory to be dependent on war score.

Thanks

[DocBuchanan]

So... there is no way to create a new, unique wargoal? That seems like a serious error on PI's part. What about all the unique wargoals throughout the game that pop up after events and what not... Where do you find the files on those and shouldn't you be able to add new ones if they are simple text files?

[slugo]

There is already a difference if you are civilized yourself. If you research i think it was called Imperialism & revolutionism or something like that it should give the opportunity to annex uncivilized nations for only 8 infamy as a civilized nation

yeah, thats already in. its the create a protectorate war goal. you onlyget 8 inf but also only 2 prestige

It think your problem is right here:

annihilate {

You're missing a '='
