Alun's Empire tool - generate Reformation events for your own mod

MichaelM · Feb 16, 2014

Original EU2 thread (dated from 2003, no less)

I've taken the liberty of updating Alun's Empire tool to For the Glory and modifying it so that it can generate a better set of Reformation events for vanilla. The EU2 version had to rely on event chains of up to four events just to generate a few different conversion probabilities; FTG's ai_chance reduces that to one event per province and removes the limits to probabilities. I was able to use the modified program to regenerate Reformation events for vanilla and reduced the number of events from 605 to 526.

The attached zip file includes the source code (GPL licensed, as was alun's original code), plus the .exe and the data files I used for vanilla.

Thanks a lot for this.

If you use it for another map, you only have to modify FTG.empire and province.csv, right?

MichaelM · Mar 22, 2014

Yes, that's the idea anyway.

It's good that the programs for EU II are restored for FTG.Thanks, Michael.

I wonder if there is any program left like this which needs to be "upgraded"?

Well, It'll definitely simplify fixing the reformation for MyMap.

I have uploaded the source code to GitHub: https://github.com/mmyers/FTG_Empire

I also made a small change: in the RNG country's events, actions with a higher ai_chance are now printed first. That means the Reformation will still be reasonably accurate if the player has chosen "Historical event choices" in the game settings.

Time to up... Many of you know that Alun's mod does not touch Poland and Lithuania, two regions that were heavily influenced by the Reformation. In these countries, it was a nobleman's reformation, aimed not at religious change, but at democratisation and strengthening of their own position. In Poland at the time of the Reformation, the Executionist movement dominated the thinking, and the rights of religious minorities were protected by the Warsaw Confederation. There was even an attempt to establish a national church, a reformed Catholicism with the king at its head. For Lithuania, this was a stage of national awakening, when the reformed nobility considered themselves Lithuanians rather than Poles. Interesting times!

Based on suggestions from way back in 2006, as well as some of my own research, I offer my RNGC proposal for PLC, as well as Hungary. The main idea is to provide 2 provinces for Poland (mainly Malopolska and Sandomierz) and 4 for Lithuania, while keeping them mostly Catholic:

Code:

#                                     Period      Conversion Probability
#                                                 Small   Normal  Large
# Podlasia,Lithuania,Belarus          1560-1569    72%     85%     90%
# Krakow,Polotsk,Volyn                1560-1569    39%     48%     72%
# Poznan                              1560-1569    28%     39%     61%
# Wielkopolska,Galizien,Mozyr,Welikia 1560-1569    15%     28%     39%
# Masovia,Danzig,Chernigov,
# Ukraina,Podolia                     1560-1569     0%      5%     15%

There are also increased chances for Hungary (in a book about the Habsburg empire, he says that by 1550, the Catholic Church had practically ceased to exist as an institution in Hungary, remaining only in Croatia). In 1580, Lutherans already accounted for 50%, Calvinists and Catholics/Orthodox for 25% each:

Code:

# Bern, Schwyz                        1523-1528    85%     90%     95%
# Maros,Magyar,Ruthenia               1550-1559    72%     85%     90%
# Presburg,Banat                      1550-1559     5%     10%     15%
# Transylvania                        1550-1559    39%     48%     72%
# Pest                                1555-1564    39%     48%     72%
# Carpathia                           1555-1564     5%     10%     15%

Austria also has increased chances (the Reformation was particularly strong in Lower and Upper Austria):

Code:

# Germany/Austria
#
#                                           Period      Conversion Probability
#                                                       Small   Normal  Large
# Sachsen,Anhalt,Bremen                     1520-1523    90%     95%    100%
# Hannover,Ansbach,Hessen                   1523-1526    72%     85%     90%
# Hinterpommern,Vorpommern,Wьrzburg         1523-1532    85%     90%     95%
# Pfalz,Mainz,Alsace                        1525-1530    15%     28%     39%
# Oldenburg,Silesia,Erz,Steiermark          1525-1534    28%     48%     72%
# Salzburg                                  1525-1534    15%     28%     39%
# Mьnster,Kцln,Ostmarch,Tirol,Austria       1525-1534     5%     15%     28%
# Kleves,                                   1525-1534     5%     10%     15%
# Magdeburg,Brandenburg,Kьstrin,
# Wьrttemberg,Holstein,Mecklemburg          1530-1539    85%     90%     95%
# Baden                                     1530-1539     5%     15%     28%
# Odenburg                                  1535-1544    28%     48%     72%

And there are other changes, such as a less Lutheran Poznan. As a bonus, there is RNGC for Hussites to make mood changes smoother (the numbers are for AGCEEP, for vanilla the startdate can be shifted to 1415):

Code:

#                   Period      Conversion Probability
#                               Small   Normal  Large
# Bohemia           1419-1421    85%     90%    100%
# Erz,Moravia       1419-1424    72%     85%     90%
# Sudeten           1419-1424    39%     48%     72%
# Silesia           1419-1424     5%     10%     15%
