I am currently planning another Britain game, grand campaign 1836, with AHD installed, to recreate the mighty Empire and paint the world in red.
However, one thing bothered me in my last campaigns: Italy and Germany sometimes did not form. I want to "roleplay" British balance of power politics dealing with the European powers of the late 19th century, and for this purpose I want both Italy and Germany forming in-time.
My plan now is to form them by triggering the according event.
TAG switch to Sardinia-Piemont or Prussia, open console, type "event xxx" (I should get the event number form the files, I think), TAG switch back.
This way it should be possible to have Italy and Germany whenever I want to have them.
Two doubts remain. First, is it possible at all to do that? I mean, can I trigger unifications by event without the necessary prerequisites (e.g. for Prussia, Alsace-Lorraine conquered, won hegemony war against Austria...) in place?
And second, I read that TAG switching causes lots of problems with the AI. So does that mean if I TAG switch to Sardinia, form Italy, TAG switch back to UK and resume playing, will Italy be a dead country without AI, sitting there and doing nothing? That of course would spoil my nice plan...
Somebody tried something like this before? Somebody can spare some experience?
