Quick modding questions

Okay, figured it out. Thanks. Event works perfectly now.

Code:

#The establishment of the trading city of Malacca Town
province_event = {
	id = 1000035

	trigger = {
		year = 1402
		NOT = {
			has_province_flag = malacca_founded
		}
		owner = {
			OR {
				tag = AYU
				tag = MAJ
			}
			
		}
		province_id = 596
	}

	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 1
	} 

	title = "EVTNAME1000035"
	desc = "EVTDESC1000035"

	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA1000035"
		MLC = { 
			add_core = 594
			add_core = 595
			add_core = 596
			add_core = 597
			add_core = 598
			add_core = 599
			add_core = 620
		}
		release = MLC
		cot = yes
		base_tax = 4
		citysize = 30000
		add_building = fort3
		596 = { secede_province = MLC }
		set_province_flag = malacca_founded
	}
}

The 596 = { secede_province = MLC } effect should not be necessary (unless the release = MLC is not working which is possible since it should really be in owner scope).

If you want the owner of Malacca to give all the cores he holds to the new country then you should fix the release and remove the secede_province or if you want Malacca to get only its capital immediately then just remove the release effect.

I only wanted Malacca to get the province of Malacca upon release, but also wanted them to get cores on the entire Malayan Peninsula, plus Siak. This is because, historically, Malacca was founded by a Sri Vijayan prince in what was ostensibly Majapahit land, and expanded to take over the whole Malayan Peninsula plus the Siak area across the Malacca Strait within a decade or two. My event allows for just this.

just be aware of that in-game Malacca will quickly lose prestige through having many non-owned cores. maybe instead giving just one or two cores at both ends of the peninsula.

As AKronblad mentioned - non owned cores hurt a tag. To do what you want relating to get Malacca to take over the whole peninsula you should use a mission that adds temp cores over the peninsula. The temp cores do not hurt the tag while still giving the tag motivation to expand.

The following mission would work:

Code:

malacca_empire = {
	
	type = country

	allow = {
		tag = MLC
		is_lesser_in_union = no
		is_subject = no
		OR = {
		    NOT = { owns = 594 }
			NOT = { owns = 595 }
			NOT = { owns = 596 }
			NOT = { owns = 597 }
			NOT = { owns = 598 }
			NOT = { owns = 599 }
			NOT = { owns = 620 }
			}
	}
	abort = {
		or = {
			is_lesser_in_union = yes
			is_subject = yes
			}
	}
	success = {
		owns = 594
		owns = 595
		owns = 596
		owns = 597
		owns = 598
		owns = 599
		owns = 620
	}
	chance = {
		factor = 1000
		modifier = {
			factor = 5
			year = 1499
		}
	}
	immediate = {
		add_temp_claim = 594
		add_temp_claim = 595
		add_temp_claim = 596
		add_temp_claim = 597
		add_temp_claim = 598
		add_temp_claim = 599
		add_temp_claim = 620
	}
	abort_effect = { 
		remove_temp_claim = 594
		remove_temp_claim = 595
		remove_temp_claim = 596
		remove_temp_claim = 597
		remove_temp_claim = 598
		remove_temp_claim = 599
		remove_temp_claim = 620
	 }
	
	effect = {
		any_owned = {
			limit = {
				NOT = { is_core = THIS }
			}
			add_core = THIS
		}
	}
}

I am still struggling with "wrong" countries resurfacing as part of cultural or separatist etc rebellions..

Looking in revolt_triggers.txt, what does then "always = no" mean? Is the effect that it will never assume ownership of a province as part of a rebellion, or equivalent?

**AKronblad** · 21-01-2012 14:28

I am having a few "eternal" country modifiers with the aim of balancing the game, i.e., duration = -1.

Now some countries have a tendency to reappear after having been wiped out.

These countries do not still seem to have their "eternal" country modifiers when reappearing... Anyone having had the same experience, or a different, and can advise on whether this is truly the case?

Otherwise, I have to find a good way to reimpose these country modifiers...

**Alpha Zeke** · 21-01-2012 19:42

In the beginning of the game, give everyone a flag and then make an event that gives the modifier if the modifier is not there and if the flag is there. Make the flag appear based on something that a counrty will always have i.e. capital is in europe or something like that. That way when they reappear, they will get the flag again, and therefor get the modifier again if they dont have it.

I believe it means that if a patriot appears with their primary culture, the province will never defect to them. I use this in my mod on many of the hordes, based on if the owner is not a horde then people should certainly not rebel back to the hordes.

Might want to make them triggered modifiers instead of event modifiers; that way any country that meets the triggers will automatically get the modifier the following month.

Many thanks for input, guys! I actually made it a decision so that an ai country automatically triggers such decision (even if unfavourable to it...

). So if it reappears and doesn't have that country modifier, the decision will be available and the country will automatically trigger the decision again.

**AKronblad** · 21-01-2012 23:14

in the otherwise excellent EU3 wikipedia @ paradoxian.org, it is unclear whether any_province actually means any province or any OWNED province.

Could anyone advise?

**AKronblad** · 21-01-2012 23:50

Also, upon the "Death of Roma" (meaning that the Western Roman Empire WRE no longer exists) in my 399AD mod, I'd like to remove all the cores of WRE.

Tried (in an otherwise functioning country_event for another country):

Code:

any_province = {
		remove_core = WRE
	}

but it didn't work. how could it be made to work?

Not sure if things changed for DW. For HTT the following series of events worked to remove cores from a non existent tag.

Code:

country_event = {
id = 335000
    trigger = {
            year = 1427
            NOT = { year = 1477 }
            exists = BRB
        BRB = { war = no }
        tag = BUR
        NOT = { has_country_flag = inherit_BRB }
}

        mean_time_to_happen = {    days = 1 }
        
    title = "EVTNAME335000"#    Inherit
    desc = "EVTDESC335000"#    John IV of Brabrant as died and left us Brabrant!
    
    option = {
    name = "EVTOPTA335000"#    Great!!
        ai_chance = { factor = 100 }
        BRB = { country_event = 777575 }
        inherit = BRB
set_country_flag = inherit_BRB
        }
}

Code:

country_event = {

    id = 777575

    is_triggered_only = yes
           

    title = "EVTNAME777575"#    remove_cores
    desc = "EVTDESC777575"#    remove_cores

    option = {
    name = "EVTOPTA777575"#    Great!
        ai_chance = { factor = 100 }
        any_country = {
            limit = { any_owned_province = { is_core = THIS } }
            any_owned = {
                limit = { is_core = THIS }
                remove_core = THIS
            }
        }
    }
}

This worked except where the tag still existed and still owned a province in which case the core would be immediately be earned back for the province still owned by the tag. But if the tag was no longer in game it worked well. The code was developed I think by one of the members of the original MM team.

Many thanks! Tried it out, and it works well, actually even for existing tag's still owned provinces!

(Being lazy, I triggered the event immediately on start date for WRE....) So great response, many thanks agains!

any_province scope means all provinces regardless of owner but I don't believe it includes empty provinces.

Interesting. I did file a bug report for HTT relating to still owned provinces and Paradox said they understood why it would be nice for mods to have it work - in other words reset the clock to have the core earned again. So maybe they fixed it for DW.

Glad to help.

OK, many thanks for clarification.!

I just wonder... Is there any way to change graphic culture to latingfx from muslimgfx using decision?

This doesn't seem to work.

Code:

country_decisions = {

	sicilian_nation = {
		potential = {
			NOT = { exists = SIC }
			NOT = { tag = HRE }
			NOT = { tag = PAP }
			OR = {
				primary_culture = hafsid-berber
				religion = shiite
			}
		}
		allow = {
			owns = 124		# Messina
			owns = 125		# Palermo			
			war = no
		}
	  effect = {
			SIC = {		
				add_core = 124		
				add_core = 125		
			}
			124 = { culture = sicilian }
			125 = { culture = sicilian }
			random_owned = {
				base_tax = 1
			}
			land_naval = 2
			prestige = 0.05
			change_tag = SIC
			SIC = {
				capital = 125
				primary_culture = sicilian
				government = feudal_monarchy
				graphical_culture = latingfx
				religion = catholic
			}
		}
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 1
		}
	}
	
}

        }
    }
    
}

I have never seen a way to change this in game (during game play) and it is not listed on the eu3 wiki as a valid item for use in an event /decision.
