I am currently writing an AAR about Democratic Germany but have reached quite a major snag. When Wilhelm II died Adolf Hitlaer became my head of state. In the AAR he has been killed off and even if he was alive it would make no sence whatsoever. Anyway what I want to know is if there is a way I can trigger the Minister Dies event and make him the Minister who dies. Even if it isn't possible to specify him directly the ability to use this trigger would help as I could do it over and over until I eventually get him.

If I cant get rid of him then I guess I will be forced to simply ignore it :(

Please Help!
 
Better option would be to open the .eug save game, search for Adolf. Find all Adolf Ministers, replace the string name with something cooler, replace the link to a picture with a picture of a more appropriate person and voila. Problem solved. Remember the ministers are specified by ID, so if you delete the ministers then you also have to change that. If this is your first time editing the save file, then I suggest you keep it simple Changing the save file will only affect this game, but not any subsequent games :)
 
That sounds really complicated and I'd rather stay away from doing something like that.

Thanks for the help anway
 
Load as somebody with spies in Germany, use the F12 cheat "acceptall" (and, if needed, "money), assasinate Hitler.
You can't assasinate Head of State.

Easy, fire event 2025 in the console.

f12 - 'event 2025'
 
You can edit in game events to eliminate him and bring the minister of your choice to the head.

I can't remember off hand how to do so, it takes some time.
in game events you can edit the text and minister number (ie: hitler) and bring in the one of your liking. I'll try to get back on you with this.
 
Thanks, does event 2025 kill a random minister?

if so then that will be good enough although it may take some time.

This is the Hitler assassinated event. It kills Hitler and his minions, replaces all the government with new ministers, retires numerous generals, creates dissent. But it could be edited to be less severe - just look in germany.txt file for event 2025.
 
Right the event 2025 changes alot more than I expected but could be used to shake up the aar in the future but I'd rather not use it.

I looked in the editor and was searching through Germany's Heads of State when I discovered Wilhelm III. He is activated in 1941 and in the game its 1942, it would be beyond perfect if I could get him in but do you think he will takeover from old Adolf in 1942 or should I try and edit the game to replace Hitler with him.

thx
 
Pause the game. Go to the Diplomatic page.

Type : <F12> freedom <enter> <F12> <enter>

Now shift your sliders so that you are Paternal Autocrat instead of National Socialist.

Again type : <F12> freedom <enter> <F12> <enter>

Run the clock forward one day. Wilhelm should now be your new Head of State.

If that didn't work, try doing the same thing but shifting all the way to Social Conservative instead of stopping at Paternal Autocrat.
 
I am already Social Conservative Have been since I changed from Market Liberal in mid 1937
 
Easiest might be to just edit the save and change Hitler's trait, name and picture to match those of the new leader you wanted. Leave his ID code as it is.
 
Here is my plan in the editing: Edit Wilhelm III to have a start date of 1940 (its 41 and he starts in 42) then go into the save file and simply click the Minster is in CAbinet button. Will this work?

Wilhelm III is unlikely to appear in any future game so it wont mess up the game for me :)
 
You cannot change the Head-of-State or Head-of-Government just by clicking on them... these two positions are special, and can only be changed by slider-moves or by scripted event.

If you change the Minister file to set Wilhelm to 1940, your SC sliders should automatically bring him in as HOG within 24 hours.
 
in the editor it seems I can ...
 
Open your save file with a text editor and find Hitler. Delete him. When you restart your game, Wilhelm III should be in charge.



If that doesnt work, put a bomb in a briefcase and leave it under the table...
