Let´s try another way to gain slavonic culture for Austria under harsh conditions. Most agreed that Austria should not start with slavonic and many objected to grant Austria slavonic with one of the existing events. Perhaps this finds more supporters.

For the hardcore fans of an Austria WITH slavonic culture the way already exists: Starting as Styria (with slavonic culture) and then becoming Austria.

My suggestion would be a new event like this:
Code:

		control = { province = 367 data = HAB } #Krain
                neighbour = TUR #only if the Ottomans are a threat and the balkan has to choose between Ottomans and Austrians
		NOT = { exists = BYZ } #only if eastern rome is gone

                NOT = { exists = SER } 
                NOT = { exists = BOS } 
                NOT = { exists = CRO }

hey guys

sorry if this doesnt fit here but as there is no thread concerning both austria and spain i flipped a coin and voila.

i was tracing an event chain where i noticed something

Code:
#(1495-1498) The Anti-French League of Venice
#modified by Bordic
event = {
	id = 12143
	trigger = {
		NOT = { exists = ARG }

		}
	}
	random = no
	country = SPA
	name = "EVENTNAME326035" #The Anti-French League of Venice
	desc = "EVENTHIST170040"
	#-#

	date = { day = 0 month = January year = 1495 }
	offset = 25
	deathdate = { day = 0 month = April year = 1498 }

	action_a = {

	}
	action_b = {

	}
}

The presence of Charles VIII of France in the kingdom of Naples scared the Italian princes, who had in a certain way permitted the French King to achieve his goal of settling there almost undisturbed. Venice and Florence were worried about a French hegemony in the peninsula. French military presence wasn't limited to Southern Italy but also to villages of Tuscany and the Papal States, which previously surrendered to Charles VIII in his march towards Naples, strategically located to grant the French military supply line. The Pope, who previously granted the French King military access through the Papal territories and consented his stay in Rome, felt in jeopardy as much as to refuse Charles VIII being proclaimed King of Naples. Also King Ferdinand of Aragon couldn't accept the French presence in a kingdom where he instead, in spite of Alfons V's testament which assigned Naples to the other Trastamara branch, could be the one to have claims there. The position of Naples was also important for the Aragonese trading in the Mediterranean. The Duke of Milan, who decisively affected Charles VIII's decision to settle in Naples, was now alarmed by the presence of French reserve troops deployed in the county of Asti, very close to Milan and at the order of the Duke of Orléans, who had dynastical claims to the Milanese throne. So Venice, Milan, the Pope, Spain and even the Holy Roman Empire (so firmly opposed to the French expansionism in Italy as to join any Anti-French alliance available) consequently formed the Anti-French league in Venice on 31 March 1495. Florence preferred to stay out because of her internal problems caused by Charles VIII's passage and decided to support France instead. Having heard about those arrangements and fearing that the confederates would isolate his army in Italy, Charles VIII decided to return to France for reinforcements leaving his regent in Naples. He had to move his army quickly through the Apennines as to reach the Alps and then safety, but the presence of heavy artilleries and carriages transporting the big loot he accumulated across Italy, slowed his march down. Only at Fornovo on the Taro River, in the Po Valley, Charles VIII finally faced the army of the confederates. Despite having lost all the carriages, he managed to reach the Alps gaining from his expedition to Italy nothing but his army decimated by epidemies.

So here appearantly spain seeks to form a league against the growing power of france in italy and if a is chosen then habsburg gets this event

Code:
#(1495-1498) The Anti-French League of Venice
event = {
	id = 179025

		command = { type = relation which = PAP value = -50 }
	}
}

description same as above

so this eventis one of triggers for this here event for burgundy

Code:

	random = no
	country = BUR

		command = { type = trigger which = 179032 } #HAB: Political marriages with the Spanish royals
	}
}

I
n 1494 Charles VIII invaded Italy. Maximilian of Habsburg, alarmed at the successful progress of Charles VIII in the Italian peninsula, signed the league of Venice with Spain, Venice and Milan to face the powerful French army in the Kingdom of Naples and in the imperial territories in Northern Italy and, in order to strengthen the ties with the new Spanish ally, at about the same time he arranged a marriage between his children, Marguerite and Philippe, and Juan and Juana, son and daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, respectively king of Aragon and queen of Castile.

so this one triggers two events which gives royal marriages to spain and austria which are supposed to signal the historical marriages, and appearantly these lead to the habsburg rule of spain .

But so if we give us that in the event of 12143 spain goes with b we are seeing no french league and no marriage between spain and burgundy.
So we are also not seeing any habsburgs coming to the spanish throne and we are also seeing no burgundy being transferred to the spanish crown which brings us to the reason why i went through this event chain to find this loop hole. So i was trying to make and event for a burgundian cycle for the alt germany events in the case you were austria when you formed germany.
So is this possible and also wouldnt we need some fantasy leaders for spain if the spanish habsburg line never existed ?


anyway sorry for long post i just wanted to get this very clear

yes i know but you see that the description wouldnt match the case where the spanish family and habsburg family did not intermarry so charles would have no claim to spain right? that was what i was trying to imply

About post #943

Yes you are right that any eventual action B made by Spain or even an action C made by Austria would be ahistorical, but imho these events of the Anti French League and the following marriage between Spain and Austria would have occurred the same if we follow the path of possible alternative history: France was interested in Low Countries (thus Burgundy) and in Italy (both North and South). The events are there trying to represent this.

What about if Naples doesn't exist in 1494 when playing with eu2? Also in this case, no marriage would happen between Spain and Burgundy-Austria? This is a eu2 technical problem, more related to predictable event chains. As it is now, even without these events you point out, the annexation of Burgundy and the marriage with Austria will happen the same in 1517-1519, whether or not the Low Countries turn Spanish.

The goal of these 1494-1497 event chains was to represent in the game the political condition which would have brought firstly to the Italian Wars and eventually to the war of Spanish succession in 1700s: in both cases France against the Habsburgs (both Spain and Austria).

The only and current alternative to the historical path is now the possibility for Mary of Burgundy to marry anyone else than Maximilian of Habsburg. Only in this case the Italian Wars (and even the WoSS) won't happen (no French encirclement by the Habsburgs in this case!)

For game's sake (or semplicity) the House of Habsburg will settle IN ANY CASE in Spain. The SPA or HAB player will know of this marriage only with the 1519 event instead of both events: the 1519 one and the 1495 one (which also grants the SPA-HAB marriage with Burgundy).

Coming back to the event sequences, the event with which Spain inherits Burgundy doesn't refer to Philippe the Handsome and Joan the Mad, as they are implicit: if Spain inherits Burgundy Mary of Burgundy chose Maximilian and somewhere between 1494 to 1517 Spain and Austria married each other. the events of post 943 are only there to explain history in case the game completely fits with history but they are not really necessary for the historical path to follow.

I think he means that if Habsburg and Trastamura families do not unite , then the marriage of Habsburg max with mary of Burgundy will leave Habsburg in the low countries without the trastamara portion involved.
this did happen early and max found it hard to control the low countries , which could have led to an early netherlands (a historical)

The only way I see it is if spain is not iinvolved in the low counties, then the easiest solution is for events to let austria to try to hold onto the low countires themselves

I agree we need to realign the events before this happens.

Problem here is that Spain without Habsburg monarchs is impossible to imagine, imo. As it is now, if Spain doesn't inherit Low Countries we haven't those events of Italian Wars and WoSS any longer. So the problem of determinism is in part solved I think.

Or simply Flanders free?

I agree with this point. But why couldn't we just think of normal marriage between Spain and Austria with the union of the two dynasties as it historically happened without thinking of possession of Low Countries? Couldn't we reasonably think of this marriage as a means to stop French expansionism in HRE and Italy? As I said we won't have Italian wars as properly intended or the war of Spanish succession for the territories in Low Countries and Milan in case Low Countries become Kleves or Palatinate (alternative Mary's marriages).

I agree we need to realign the events before this happens.
Anti French league and the Habsburgs settle in Spain will fire only if France is interested in Italy. Since we have historical basis for these events I have thought about using the dynastic commands we have in game to bind Austria-Burgundy and Spain as to avoid any historically impossible alliance between France and one of them. But whether the events fire or not, it doesn't imply that the marriages won't take place... That's my point. Or we would like to have events for each aspect of each possible alternative event?

I recall that the sequence of BUR_137022 is an alternative (even if historical) to the event sequence in which Spain and Austria get the marriage. This following sequence should be considered technically speaking wrong because it refers to a previous marriage which has already happened in 1495. Instead this sequence is firing in 1516-1519 well after the death of Felipe I and the destitution of Juana by Carlos I.

Yes, I understand that the sequence is very deterministic but how can you figure any alternative dynasty in Spain except the Habsburgs or the Bourbons after?

true

true

I think the italian wars would always have happened because of the orleans involvement in italian affairs which france inherited. However any claim on MLO by anyone would need to kill MLO off in battle first, highly unlikely.

dynastic path is the best path as the marriages would occur regardless of relations between nations, so I agree with this method

This following sequence should be considered technically speaking wrong because it refers to a previous marriage which has already happened in 1495. Instead this sequence is firing in 1516-1519 well after the death of Felipe I and the destitution of Juana by Carlos I.

this is where the old sequence of aragon existing and merging into castille to form Spain in 1515 was better for the flow of the whole sequence. what we have now is a guaranteed Spain in 1479 in which we loose track of history until 1515, so we are to a degree already out of sequence.
maybe leave Spain only partly involved and only let them get fully involved in the lowlands only from 1515 with the inheritance of charles the V.
I really do not know which path is best for the game

Sorry, I was talking about the Italian Wars after 1535 when Charles V decided to give Milan to his son Felipe II. France already renounced Milan at Cambrai in 1529 but this decision provoked her intervention in Savoie-Piedmont iirc.

OK


this is where the old sequence of aragon existing and merging into castille to form Spain in 1515 was better for the flow of the whole sequence. what we have now is a guaranteed Spain in 1479 in which we loose track of history until 1515, so we are to a degree already out of sequence.
maybe leave Spain only partly involved and only let them get fully involved in the lowlands only from 1515 with the inheritance of charles the V.
I really do not know which path is best for the game
Once I have asked Fodoron why we have no Felipe I to rule over Castile with Juana at least until 1506-08, then Ferdinand will get the temporary regency of Juana until 1516. He said he preferred to see an already formed Spain before apparently historical date of 1516 when Charles took power. He also said that Spain was effecively united only when Felipe V Bourbon became king. AFAIK we agreed with having Spain with the marriage of the Reyes Catolicos somewhere in 1480s and so limiting Aragonese expansionism policies in Italy when France took Naples.
That should be however the meaning of the presence in agceep of similar events for Spain and Aragon in the early Italian Wars (1494-1513)

The historical marriage between Castile and Burgundy can mix up the game as it also concerns cross-marriages between them and Aragon + Austria. France will also have small-sized enemies to fight with.

In the en I don't know which path we could follow and which are the possible risks. There is also a problem with Castile AI to colonize America and with Tordesillas too.
 
Austria gaining slavonic culture and losing it again

Post 940 slightly changed.

was: startdate 1463.
Suggested by Toio: 1540 (Toio please delete your post in the submission thread the discussion should be either here in the Austria thread or in the cultures thread)
now: startdate 1471 (after Baumkirchers execution).

I do not think that moving back the startdate was *necessary*.
The complex trigger after all is not easily achieved. Even if Austria gains its core in 1463 ALL slavonic minor states have to vanish and the Ottomans have to share a border with Austria - in some games that will never happen.

However as it is unlikely that the triggers be met all as early as 1463 it will reduce the workload of the game for 8 gameyears, not checking every 30 days if the trigger is fulfilled.

With 1463 or 1471, at start of the 1520 scenario, trigger is fulfilled.

Istria is venetian and croatia hungarian when I start the 1520 scenario - so the trigger that the Ottomans are neighbouring Austria is not fulfilled yet.

Or has ownership of those proivinces changed in the newest version of AGCEEP?
 
Oops, you're right. There is no change.

But why not wait for 1540 and Habsburg Inheritance of Hungary?

I suggest:
Code:
	date = { day = 24 month = july year = 1540 }

I agree with Yodamaster especially as Ferdinand I was really the first Austrian ruler to accept/welcome the slavs, then again, in those days, the slovenians must have been classified differently.


in accordance with the Austrian system of planting colonies of defenders along the Military Frontier, they (Uskoks)were welcomed by Emperor Ferdinand I. Moreover, the uskoks were promised an annual subsidy in return for their services.

I tried to have a trigger that looks for the actual conditions on the balkans, not what in real history happened in a certain year under a certain ruler (as Toio mentioned Ferdinand I).

The main reason for that is that I tend to play starting always a grand campaign where everything is possible.

Historically both you and Toio are right - as long as Hungary borders and is opposing the Turks Hungary deserves slavonic culture and not yet Austria.

However that is taken care of by the trigger conditions.

If the game follows a historical course then the event won´t fire too soon, because one of the trigger conditions will not be met, e.g. TUR does not neighbour HAB even at the start of the 1520 scenario.

However if the game diverts from history at some earlier junction then the event should happen if it will be plausible. For example the Habsburg Inheritance of Hungary will in some games happen earlier, e.g. either when Austria conquers large parts of Hungary when it gains the cores or when the hungarian civil war has Ladislaus on the throne and the AI choses B (no personal union but austria inheriting Hungary). That might happen long before 1540 where historically Austria took control.

In that case the situation that historicaly existed in 1540 will be there at an earlier date. And in that case the event should consider the actual conditions and not fire at a time which is in that game meaningless.

Do you think the trigger lacking any important condition?

Code:
trigger = {
		core  = { province = 367 data = -1 }
has core on Krain which Austria gains only after 1463

Code:
		emperor = yes #only a powerful Austria will get the trust of 
		countrysize = 7 #those fearing the Turks
I used countrysize 7 because in the game Austria starts with 2 provinces, inherits Styria (+2) and then Tyrol (+2) and gains Odenburg in the Friedrich/Corvinus peace deal (+1).

Code:
		owned = { province = 367 data = HAB } #Krain
		control = { province = 367 data = HAB } #Krain
minimal presence of Austria in slavonic area

Code:
                neighbour = TUR
#only if the Ottomans are a threat and the balkan has to choose between Ottomans and Austrians

Code:
		NOT = { exists = BYZ } #only if eastern rome is gone
		NOT = { exists = BUL } #and no independant slavonic state exists
                NOT = { exists = SER } 
                NOT = { exists = BOS } 
                NOT = { exists = CRO } 
		NOT = { event = 261002 } #Not if Styria became Austria because then Austria will already have slavonic culture

there is nothing wrong with your event except the startdate and your notes reflect that you need this 1471 startdate due to human play. As you say, the event will not fire too soon IF AI played.
As I tested this, it did fire once for the AI, because Austria owned BOS., but with the new BOS and SER events, this seems more unlikely

I leave it to Yodamaster. 1471 or 1540 . your call
 
I understand ConjurerDragon's arguments but we don't need to help Austria (and a player) if advance in Slavonic lands happens ahistorically "too soon". In this case, can't we assume Austria will need time for full acceptance? That's why 1540 seems better to me.

full acceptance? That's why 1540 seems better to me.

I see a problem with that assumption: Why would Austria need time for full acceptance if they begin to rule Hungary in 1441 and have to wait until 1471 (ahistorical b choice in event for Ladislaus but still have to wait until earliest startdate) or 1490 (ahistorical B choice of Hungary after death of Corvinus),
but won´t need time for full acceptance in 1540? These two dates in 1441 and 1490 are only the two events in which HAB ahistorically can inherit Hungary as a whole. With the granted cores and a sometimes weaker Hungary Hungary might not be in it´s historical position to be the bulwark against the Turks but Austria might be - that should be reflected in the events trigger.

However I could see one other condition in that Austria needs to be elected as king of Croatia (historically in 1526) to have a broader slavonic support than just the slovenians in Krain. I have added the condition that Austria has to have a core on Croatia (which in a historical flow of events it won´t have as in the Friedrich/Corvinus peace deal where Austria in the a choice gains Odenburg but loses the cores on the rest of Hungary/Croatia.

Until now only Toio and Yoda have commented about the events and if that remains so it will be 1:2 and I would also move back the startdate. Anyone else with an opinion?
 
We can "say" Slavonics have no choice in 1540 with historical situation. Before, we can "assume" they still have hope situation will evolve ("finally" in the name of the event could mean there is no hope). Once again we don't need to give Austria such advantage and break by event the already broken balance.
