I wonder why there is no way for France to win the War of Spanish Succession and have Philipe/Felipe inherit both crowns. I know it kind of unites two major power but isn't it a bit too deterministic too have France loose the war whatever they do? I defeated Austria quite soundly, taking Lorraine and Alsace, and still I got the Peace of Utrecht event stating that I lost the war.
Would the community be adverse to an event that would detect how the war went for France? I would say that if enemies of France (Austria, Netherlands and England) don't own any of the cores claimed by Louis XIV (the ones that are given up if not owned after Peace of Utrecht), or they don't have any of the minors on those cores as vassals, and Spain has not lost any provinces to Habsburg Spain, then France has won the war and may keep Spain as vassals or maybe even inherit them. It would be a complex set of triggers, but it is not impossible and I think it would be well worth the effort.
