Well thats disappointing, I wanted the player to be able to choose a side in a civil war, but it is supposed to be generic, so no proper tags. Oh well.

This option keeps causing a crash, does anyone see an error in it? Validator is not picking up anything, and I don't see anything.

Code:

          option = {
		name = "We shall suppress their organization nationally"
		money = -4000
		set_country_flag = r_4_count_suppress
		random_list = {
			60 = {
				any_owned = {
					limit = {
						is_colonial = no
						has_province_modifier = r_level_4
					}
					any_pop = {
						limit = {
							militancy = 6
						}
						militancy = -4
					}
				}
			}
			40 = {
				any_owned = {
					any_pop = {
						limit = {
							pop_majority_ideology = liberal
							NOT = {
								militancy = 5
							}
						}
						militancy = 3
					}
				}
				any_pop = {
					militancy = 1
				}
				badboy = 2
			}
		}
		ai_chance = {
			factor = 45
		}
	}

And also, is there any way to nerf Britain home islands soldier growth? Could I do it with tech school?

Provided there's not an issue with your province modifier, the only thing that comes to mind is the pop_majority_ideology command. I remember running into some weird bugs a while back when using that in any_pop scope. If there weren't any pops that fit the limit I set, the game would crash.

Tech school affects research rate only. The only way to nerf soldier growth would be to mod the promotion tables.

I'm trying to create a decision for Ottoman Empire, it works, but I have a question. I'm trying to add this decision some bonuses for army, like Von Motlke for Germany, but I couldn't figure out how, I'm kinda new so how do we add army bonuses to decisions, or tax efficiency etc. Or how do we create a country modifier? (Sorry for bad English)

Code:

nizami_cedid = {
potential = {
			tag = TUR
			NOT = {
				has_country_flag = nizami_cedid_enacted
			}
		}
		
		allow = {
			muzzle_loaded_rifles = 1
			military_plans = 1
			army_professionalism = 1

		}

		effect = {
		
		
		prestige = 5
		set_country_flag = nizami_cedid_enacted
		
	}
ai_will_do = {
			factor = 1
			modifier = {
				factor = 0
				war = no
			}
	}

In victoria2/common/event_modifiers, you have to define what your decision actually does. Also, you need to put it somewhere in localisation, but I'm not sure how that works exactly.

Well, you define what the modifier does in event_modifiers-- the prussian_general_staff modifier is in there, if someone wants to take a look of a modifier that adds army bonuses.

As for localization, you need to add in a .csv file something that has just the modifier title and then one with "_desc" appended onto it. (so if you had a nizami_cedid modifier, you'd have "nizami_cedid" for the name of the modifier and "nizami_cedid_desc" for the description which would pop up when you hover over the modifier's icon... though careful not to use the same name as that of your decision unless you're okay with them having the same description).

I'm trying to make a decision that you can only trigger if you control Paris, Vienna etc or if they are in your sphere, but I have no idea what to write in the effect allow part of the decision.

Code:

political_decisions = {

	form_europa = {

		potential = {
			OR = {
			tag = FRA
			tag = GER
			tag = PRU
			tag = KUK
			tag = AUS
			tag = NGF
			tag = ITA
		}
		NOT = {
		exists = EUR
		}
		
		allow = {
			war = no
			owns = 549
			owns = 619
			owns = 425
			owns = 375
			owns = 749					
		}					
		
		effect = {
			prestige = 100
			change_tag = EUR
			add_accepted_culture = south_german
			add_accepted_culture = north_german
			add_accepted_culture = spanish								
			add_accepted_culture = french
			add_accepted_culture = north_italian
			add_accepted_culture = south_italian
			}
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 0
		}
	}	
}
}

Right now the decision doesn't show up in game at all, but it did earlier (I guess I changed something that broke it and now I can't see what exactly), but even when it did the decision didn't require anything no matter what I wrote in the allow part. Any help would be appreciated

You just mixed up your brackets. Try this:

Code:

political_decisions = {

	form_europa = {

		potential = {
			OR = {
				tag = FRA
				tag = GER
				tag = PRU
				tag = KUK
				tag = AUS
				tag = NGF
				tag = ITA
			}
			NOT = {
				exists = EUR
			}
		}
		
		allow = {
			war = no
			owns = 549
			owns = 619
			owns = 425
			owns = 375
			owns = 749					
		}				
		
		effect = {
			prestige = 100
			change_tag = EUR
			add_accepted_culture = south_german
			add_accepted_culture = north_german
			add_accepted_culture = spanish								
			add_accepted_culture = french
			add_accepted_culture = north_italian
			add_accepted_culture = south_italian
		}
		
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 0
		}
	}
}

How do you determine an AI's likelihood of taking an option of an event? Is it random? Can I have say the AI take Option A) 30% of the time and option B) 70% of the time?

You can insert a command called "ai_chance" in any event option. If you open up the event files in PDM, many of them will have examples. The factor used is the "base" chance... but the factors don't have to add up to 100. It's just a weighting. So if one option's factor is 10 and the other is 5, then the latter has half the chance of being selected as the former.

Guess I'll bump the thread with a question.

Is there anyway to convert Pop cultures like in Victoria I, when playing as America I like to convert yankees that move to texas to texans and yankees that move to CSA cores to Dixie Pops. I also want to do this 'behind the scenes' I know Victoria I had events that fired in the background but I'm not sure if Vicky II does. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

**lordhood** · 27-02-2013 15:40

I wish to create to create an event to help my country assimilate other cultures? What do I write ?

You need to add a new event modifier into the common\event_modifiers.txt file, and then use add_country_modifier in a decision or event to put it on your country.

**lordhood** · 27-02-2013 18:27

Thanks but I was speaking about option = { assimilation or ?= ...}

**Rylock** · 27-02-2013 19:03

No, there is no event command for that. The only way to affect assimilation is with modifiers.

**lordhood** · 27-02-2013 19:04

and what are they?

**Rylock** · 27-02-2013 19:11

They are the things listed in common\event_modifiers.txt, which get added via add_province_modifier and add_country_modifier. They are effects that remain constant on a province or country, instead of the one-time effects you normally get in events.

**lordhood** · 27-02-2013 22:49

I have done this

need_assimilation_fast = {
non_accepted_pop_militancy_modifier = 0.005
assimilation_rate = 5.5
icon = 16
}

but how do I create an decision with this now?

You put that into your event_modifiers.txt file... and then you use add_country_modifier inside a decision to add it. Make the duration -1 so it's permanent, if that's what you want.

**lordhood** · 27-02-2013 23:04

If I do that, it becomes a decision like form Germany?
