Down with the Shah!

Inquisitive · 09-05-2004, 06:49

I'm playing for the first time as Delhi, and seem to have been stuck with the same deeply incompetent leader (Shah Iskender, I think his name is) for over sixty years. Can anyone tell me whether this old fool ever dies?

I don't see an Iskender Shâh anywhere in the monarch file.

Code:

# Sultanate of Delhi

historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 07280 }
	startdate = {
		year = 1414
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 19
		month = may
		year = 1421
	}
	name = "Khidr Khân"
	DIP = 4
	ADM = 5
	MIL = 7
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 07281 }
	startdate = {
		day = 20
		month = may
		year = 1421
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 18
		month = february
		year = 1434
	}
	name = "Mubarak Shâh III"
	DIP = 5
	ADM = 3
	MIL = 4
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 07282 }
	startdate = {
		day = 19
		month = february
		year = 1434
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 1
		month = december
		year = 1445
	}
	name = "Muhammad Shâh II"
	DIP = 4
	ADM = 3
	MIL = 6
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 07283 }
	startdate = {
		day = 2
		month = december
		year = 1445
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 18
		month = april
		year = 1451
	}
	name = "`Alâ ad-Dîn `Alam Shâh"
	DIP = 3
	ADM = 5
	MIL = 4
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 07284 }
	startdate = {
		day = 19
		month = april
		year = 1451
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 1
		month = july
		year = 1489
	}
	name = "Bahlûl Ludi"
	DIP = 7
	ADM = 6
	MIL = 8
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 07285 }
	startdate = {
		day = 2
		month = july
		year = 1489
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 20
		month = october
		year = 1517
	}
	name = "Sikandar Shâh"
	DIP = 4
	ADM = 3
	MIL = 6
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 07286 }
	startdate = {
		day = 21
		month = october
		year = 1517
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 19
		month = april
		year = 1526
	}
	name = "Ibrâhîm Shâh"
	DIP = 2
	ADM = 2
	MIL = 3
	remark = "Defeated by Babur. Delhi Sultanate becomes the Mughal Empire."
}

Of course, if the incompetent fool to whom you were referring is in fact Ibrâhîm Shâh, then you never get anyone better.

The very man! Not only did I confuse him with the previous ruler, I also confused the latter's name with its Turkish variant. Perhaps I should go easy with those charges of incompetence...

Thanks for your help. At least I know what I'm in for now...

Nah... youre not incompetent. I must charge you with incompetence for it to be true, and as of yet, I have not charged you. Dont push me, though...

Oh, and I thought this was a thread on the Iranian Revolution from back in the seventies and I was confused on why it was in the EUII Forum.

Nice job, as I rarely [sarcastic] get confused...

Now do what I did when I found out I had been wasting my time on an incompotent monarch despite the fact that he was dead and had been dead for 50 or 60 years; put a supermonarch in his place.

Yeah! Offer Henri the Eternally Blessed (or whatever his name is) of Navarre a bunch of gold to come and work for you!

Just Too Uber · 09-05-2004, 23:37

I wasn't that creative. I just created a guy named "King Awesome" and gave him all eights.

Edit the savegame to give your monarch 9/9/9 stats. Problem solved.

Quite.

Note: I didn't give him all 8s out of restraint to myself, I did it because I didn't know that the scale went up to 9.

Or go and look for Prester John, if the legend is correct he must be a 10/10/10 ruler
