Some conditions added to existing events:
#-#King Manuel of Portugal was very interested in preventing spice trade through the Red Sea. In 1520 a Portuguese fleet arrived and bombed Saylac, the port of Adal. They then proceeded to Massawa, the port of Ethiopia, where the Portuguese ambassadors dissembarked. They were prepared to sign an alliance with Ethiopia, but their timing was bad. Almost centenary Eleni had been dismissed, and her step great-grandson, Emperor Dawit II, better known as Lebna Dengel had just killed his main enemy, Imam Mahfuz of Adal. He was continuing a series of succesful campaigns against restless Muslims inside Ethiopia. Everybody was convinced that the Muslim menace had been checked, perhaps for good. Lebna Dengel gave his excuses to the ambassadors but said that Eleni's envoy lacked the authority to sign alliances. After a few years in the country, the ambassadors said goodbye to Pêro da Covilhã, who was now too old to travel, and left.
#-#It was too bad that Lebna Dengel had dismissed the Portuguese ambassadors in 1526, because the next year and without warning Adal had started a war like no other in the history of Ethiopia. Leaded by a mysterious warrior, that the Ethiopians called Grañ (Left-handed), and his men called Ahmad al-Fath (the Conqueror), the armies of Adal had been trained in Ottoman tactics, and were armed with flintstock firearms. The Ethiopians were great warriors. Raised in the highlands, they are one of the strongest populations on earth, and their armies were 5 to 10 times superior in numbers. Yet the only thing that they could do against the modern armies of Adal was to make them pay a hefty price for their victories. So they suffered a great defeat at the Awash river in the battle of Shimbra Kure in 1529. Lebna Dengel had 16,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry against Ahmad 560 cavalry and 12,000 soldiers. Although the Ethiopians were able to kill 5,000 soldiers of Adal, their loses were much higher. Afterwards Ahmad penetrated deep into the highlands, attacking Dawaro and Shewa in 1531, then Amhara, Lasta, Bale, Hadya, Sidama and the Gurage. With half of former Ethiopia under his control, in 1535 Ahmad invaded Tigray in the North, sacking the sacred city of Aksum and destroying the Cathedral were the emperors had been crowned for centuries. But the worst part was the damage inflicted to the people of Ethiopia and Adal by Ahmad, that would change their demography forever. To finance his military campaign against his bigger neighbour, Ahmad used a scorched earth tactic, laying waste to the land and selling every Ethiopian he could capture, Muslim or Christian, as a slave. No Christian priest or nun was left alive by him. Lebna Dengel, outmanoeuvred and out-musketed, fled from one province to another, trying to organize the resistance. There was no possibility of a peace agreement, as Ahmad was bent on the destruction of the Christian country. His elder son, Fiqtor, was killed in battle, and the youngest, Menas, was captured and sent as a slave to the Ottoman overlord of Yemen. In desperation, Lebna Dengel sent a plee for help to the King of Portugal. In doing that, he saved his country, but he would no see the result, as he died on the run, exhausted and miserable in 1540.
Events make no sense without presence of Portuguese in the area at some point.
Other events involving Portuguese / Jesuists / Catholics could have happened and their presence in Ethiopia could be for other reasons.
#-#Susenyos was successful at putting down rebellions, but became disheartened from having to kill good subjects that did not challenge the negus but the religious change. He therefore decided to proclaim religious freedom, effectively returning to Orthodoxy, and stepped down, leaving his son Fasilides to rule Ethiopia.

#-#Despite their severe defeat, and the sacking of Harar in 1550, Adal regrouped under the leadership of Ahmad's nephew, Nur ibn Mujtahid. In 1556 he launched a two front coordinated attack with Ottoman help. The Ottomans, leaded by Ozdemur Pasha, conquered Massawa, the best port of the Red Sea, and the only one the Ethiopians had, but their attempt to reach the highlands failed against the determined resistance of Gelawdewos. The attack by Nur was an even worse failure, taking the life of the last of the Walashma sultans of Adal, Barakat. However Emperor Gelawdewos lost his life in battle and his head was taken to Harar. The loss of the port of Massawa to the Ottomans was a worse catastrophe for Ethiopia. They lost control of their trade, they could no longer buy firearms, and anybody traveling from the outside to Ethiopia had to do so in disguise. Never had been Ethiopia so isolated from the outside world.

A proposal to unify all Yeshaq's campaigns in ETH_165005. I would also like to make events for campaigns of other monarchs to give Ethiopia something to do other then destroy Adal.
#-#Ethiopia was an Empire spanning a vast area populated by numerous tribal peoples that did not follow the state religion of the Empire, and few Solomonid Emperors can be considered to have controlled their whole Empire at any time. Beside the endless power struggles, religious strife and encroachments of Muslims, Ethiopian Emperors are also known for their campaigns against the followers of other religions within their Empire and on its borders. Yeshaq I is remembered for his campaigns against the Falashas and invasions of Shanqella region. The Falashas were (still are) Jewish Ethiopians. Their origin is still debated, whether they are a lost tribe of Israel or Ethiopians converted from an archaic form of Christianity to Judaism. In any case they constituted a likely target to the beleaguered Orthodox Christians surrounded by Islam. The continuous campaigns against the Falashas were successful in greatly reducing their numbers. Shanqella is an inhospitable region in western Ethiopia inhabited by black-skinned pagans of Sudanese origin. With its backwards and disorganized inhabitants, this region was a frequent proving and raiding ground of Ethiopian Emperors.

Spelling correction to match the new monarchs.eth suggestion:
#-#Zara Yaqob (the seed of Jacob) was a prince by the third wife of late Emperor Hasei Dawit (David) II. He was far removed from the throne, but the death of several of his half-brothers and one of his nephews left him as the best candidate, since the inheritance to the throne of Solomon does not follow a strict rule, and the heir can be chosen between all the descendants of the late Emperor. Upon ascending to the throne in 1434, according to tradition the prince chose a new name as emperor, Kwestantinos, in imitation of the Byzantine emperor. Two years later he was crowned and consacrated at Aksum, the old capital, as Neguse Negest (King of Kings, or Emperor), receiving also his throne name, Amda Seyum (the pillar of Zion). For his second wife he married the daughter of the Ethiopian Muslim King of Hadiya. After her conversion to Orthodoxy she received the empress name of Eleni, also in imitation of the Byzantine empress. Both Kwestantinos and Eleni would lead Ethiopia to the pinnacle of her power at the expense of the Kingdoms within the empire.

}If the new monarchs.eth is adopted, ETH_165014 is no longer needed.
#-#New Ethiopian Emperors used to crown their mothers as Empresses. But in 1468, Baeda Maryam did not have a mother, since his had been killed by his father. He chose instead to crown another of his father's wives, childless Eleni. She was no ordinary woman. Despite her Muslim upbringing, she became well versed in Christian theology, writing religious books and sponsoring the translation of Greek and Arabic books to Geez. She always remained a very influential figure in court, being named co-regent on several occasions, but her role became critical when her step-grandson Na'od died in battle against the Muslims. His oldest son, Egardos was only 7, but Eleni insisted on his crowning. The 80 years old Empress, supported by the Abuna (head of the Orthodox Church), was able to convince the council, and she was made Senior Regent until his coming of age, nine years later. Eleni named old Pêro da Covilhã royal counselor, and heeded his advice on a very serious matter. Pêro was worried about the increased Muslim power in the Red Sea and the effect that trade income was having on Adal. He recommended Eleni to seek an alliance with Portugal. Eleni decided to send an embassy to the King of Portugal.

}Some more events for Ethiopia. Going to sleep now :wacko:
#-#Baeda Maryam was unable to hold together the far-flung empire his father left him. Some of the outlying provinces recently conquered began to grow restive; the feudal lords whom Zara Yaqob had only ephemerally brought under central control reasserted their regional authority; and the senior clergy relapsed into some of the old-established ways of conduct and ecclesiastical organization.
#-#Dobe'a were primitive nomadic people who inhabited the northeastern part of Ethiopia and bordering parts of Adal sultanate. Nomadic cattle herding and banditry were there only two professions, and the latter caused the decisive campaign of Emperor Baeda Maryam against Dobe'a. First invasion into Dobe'a lands proved fruitless as the crafty nomads were able to flee and hide from the Emperor's troops. This failure prompted Baeda Maryam to seek aid from his vassals. Despite their great loyalty in this campaign, probably because they too were threatened by Dobe'a raids, the camapaign suffered a sound defeat when the Dobe'a were finally found. Only when the furious Emperor called his elite regiment, the Royal Eagle, did the campaign turn from disaster into success and the Dobe'a were broken. Baeda Maryam mobilized his governors to pursue the fleeing non-combatants. Many Dobe'a were slain during those pursuits and massive herds of cattle captured.
#-#After their defeat at the hands of Baeda Maryam, the Dobe'a were forced to convert to Christianity and beg the Emperor for pardon. The Emperor in turn returned their cattle, supplementing it with others from the southern provinces of Wej and Genz and stationed soldiers in their country. He further built a church in Dobe'a country dedicated to the Virgin Mary and planted orange trees, lemon trees, and vines in the area, in fulfillment of his earlier declaration. Baeda Maryam soon returned to the Dobe'a country and appointed governors and "regulated the social condition of the people," as well as encouraging the celebration of the death of the Virgin Mary every January, upon which occasion he distributed bread, tela (beer), and tej (a type of honey wine/mead) to the people. He further ordered that the Dobe'a become cultivators, as opposed to bandits and left the country for the last time.
#-#After successful campaigns against the Dobe'a, Baeda Maryam turned to other corners of his Empire in order to secure his borders. He moved his court to the south for campaigns against the Muslims in Dawaro and Bale. His successful campaigns brought a short-lived peace with Adal, which he used to pursue campaigns against the Falasha in the north.
#-#Nicolò Brancaleon was a Venetian monk who came to Ethiopia with a goal of converting their greatest Emperor, Zara Yaqob, to Catholicism. Unfortunately for him, Nicolò was a great painter and Ethiopian Emperors had a tradition of forbidding skilled foreign missionaries and explorers to leave Ethiopia. Nicolò Brancaleon founded a studio and quickly became the foremost icon and fresco painter and illustrator of religious books. His best known work is the controversial fresco Madonna and Child at the Church of Atronsa Maryam which was destroyed by the Oromo in 1704. His works were still being discovered in Ethiopia in 20th century. After Nicolò's arrival, at least 17 more skilled Italians were imprisoned at the Emperor's court.

About 165019, 165043 and 165044, what happens if Ethiopia doesn't own Welo or is at war and Welo occupied by enemies?
I understand 165043 to be triggered by 165019 A but command is missing. Why not wait for Ethiopia to be at peace and province not controlled by rebels? 165043 will then have dates, check 165019 happened before and will be slept by 165019 B.
If changes make sense, 165044 could have to be reworked too.
Better check Baeda Maryam monarch for related events. Even if deathdate in an event matches the death of involved monarch, effect of offset could make event happen after the deathdate... (believe me, it's true).
Same question for ownership of Welo in 165005 but on a different level.
There is no default religion in revolt.txt for Ethiopia and country could not be Orthodox (when not turning to Catholicism by event). Nicolò Brancaleon's event desc made me think to this. Of course it should be rare but do some events become non-sense in this case (example: Bale revolt in 165044 if Ethiopia is Mulslim)?

I modeled those events in the likeness of the existing ETH_165005 but you point is very valid so I'll edit both my new events and the proposal for change of ETH_165005.
YodaMaster said:
Will be done.
YodaMaster said:
Didn't know that could happen, but I see how it could be possible for the engine. I'll add the triggers where necessary.

Same answer
YodaMaster said:
I will examine the possibilities, but I think the Bale is the only amendment needed. Falasha Jews would be equally exterminated by Muslim Ethiopians and Dobe'a were hunted down because they were bandits, not on the religious basis.
I will also add atwar = no trigger to all campaigns. I doubt Ethiopian Emperors would go proving themselves if they were already at war with an external enemy like Adal or the Mamluks. (Nubia is much less likely)
Here's the new version of Ethiopia events, with changes in comparison to beta 3. I've done everything as you suggested except for Dobe'a Campaigns, which I've completely reworked to add a possibility of failure. ETH_165019 starts the campaigns and either ETH_165043 or ETH_165047 will happen depending on whether the rebels spawned in Welo managed to conquer the province. I will need some help with setting the right period between ETH_165019 and the other two events to allow the rebels to conquer the province but not to allow Ethiopia to liberate it if it is conquered. I've set it at a year for testing but I have no idea how long the rebels need to conquer a province with a minimal fort.
#-#Ethiopia was an Empire spanning a vast area populated by numerous non-Christian tribal peoples, and few Solomonid Emperors can be considered to have controlled their whole Empire at any time. Beside the endless power struggles, religious strife and encroachments of muslims, Ethiopain Emperors are also known for their campaigns against the non-Christians within their Empire and on its borders. Yeshaq I is remembered for his campaigns against the Falashas and invasions of Shanqella region. The Falashas were (still are) Jewish Ethiopians. Their origin is still debated, whether they are a lost tribe of Israel or Ethiopians converted from an archaic form of Christianity to Judaism. In any case they constituted a likely target to the beleaguered Orthodox Christians surrounded by Islam. The continuous campaigns against the Falashas were successful in greatly reducing their numbers. Shanqella is an inhospitable region in western Ethiopia inhabited by black-skinned pagans of Sudanese origin. With its backwards and disorganized inhabitants, this region was a frequent proving and raiding ground of Ethiopian Emperors.
#-#Dobe'a were primitive nomadic people who inhabited the northeastern part of Ethiopia and bordering parts of Adal sultanate. Nomadic cattle herding and banditry were there only two professions, and the latter caused the decisive campaign of Emperor Baeda Maryam against Dobe'a. First invasion into Dobe'a lands proved fruitless as the crafty nomads were able to flee and hide from the Emperor's troops. This failure prompted Baeda Maryam to seek aid from his vassals. Despite their great loyalty in this campaign, probably because they too were threatened by Dobe'a raids, the camapaign suffered a sound defeat when the Dobe'a were finally found. Only when the furious Emperor called his elite regiment, the Royal Eagle, did the campaign turn from disaster into success and the Dobe'a were broken. Baeda Maryam mobilized his governors to pursue the fleeing non-combatants. Many Dobe'a were slain during those pursuits and massive herds of cattle captured.
#-#After their defeat at the hands of Baeda Maryam, the Dobe'a were forced to convert to Christianity and beg the Emperor for pardon. The Emperor in turn returned their cattle, supplementing it with others from the southern provinces of Wej and Genz and stationed soldiers in their country. He further built a church in Dobe'a country dedicated to the Virgin Mary and planted orange trees, lemon trees, and vines in the area, in fulfillment of his earlier declaration. Ba'eda Maryam soon returned to the Dobe'a country and appointed governors and "regulated the social condition of the people," as well as encouraging the celebration of the death of the Virgin Mary every January, upon which occasion he distributed bread, tela (beer), and tej (a type of honey wine/mead) to the people. He further ordered that the Dobe'a become cultivators, as opposed to bandits and left the country for the last time.
#-#The crafty Dobe'a managed to defeat even the Royal Eagle. The most elite of Ethiopia's Imperial army were forced to return home in shame and many were executed by the furious Emperor for their failure. Despite his great fury, Baeda Maryam never tried to destroy the Dobe'a again, nor did his successors.
#-#After successful campaigns against the Dobe'a, Baeda Maryam turned to other corners of his Empire in order to secure his borders. He moved his court to the south for campaigns against the muslims in Dawaro and Bale. His successful campaigns brought a short-lived peace with Adal, which he used to pursue campaigns against the Falasha in the north.
#-#With religious similarities bringing peace with muslims within the Empire, Baeda Maryam also made peace with Sultan of Adal and embarked on a campaign against the Falasha.

Better but some other comments:
Better use flags for things that happen. If a country disappears when a [no_something] flag was set and reappears afterwards, flag value is cleared (value = no) but we can consider situation is the same as if flag was set. Only problem is all checks for the [no_something] flag will become wrong.
As a conclusion, better use a [dobea_campaigns] flag that will be set in 165019 action_a and cleared (clrflag command) when necessary and replace "event 165019" conditions with a "flag [dobea_campaigns]" condition and "flag [no_dobea_campaigns]" conditions with a "NOT flag [dobea_campaigns]" condition.
In new 165046, shouldn't revolt command for Bale be removed? Better check sunni + shiite religions (same for the NOT condition in 165044). Is there a reason why action_b of both events doesn't sleep the other event just like action_a?
For reworked 165005 and added trigger, offset 1500 could become a problem and leader could never appear. Better reduce to offset 360. Anyway, it is weird to not see leader appearing if Ethiopa is not at war against her neighbours. Maybe we could have an event just in order to wake him if 165005 never fired before and Ethiopia at war for the same dates.
A new "religion = orthodox" condition should be added to 165005 (we never know...).
Other events that require "religion = orthodox" condition:
165008 #Muslim encroachment
165007 #The Council of Florence
165009 #Fetha Negest
165000 #Council of Mitmaq
165010 #Religious zealotry

Will be done. I don't think there is enough time for Ethiopia to disappear and reappear between those events but it doesn't hurt to be cautious.
YodaMaster said:
1) Yeah, removing Bale was the purpose of the new event.
2) Didn't Shiite fight the Sunni? They get CBs against each other.
3) Lack of sleepevent in action b is intentional so that Ethiopia may action b in one event but change their mind if they convert soon after. Is that wrong?
YodaMaster said:
I'll reduce the offset. No idea why it was so high. Probably because the original event had no trigger so it didn't really matter.
I'm not sure about religion trigger. Falasha were Judaists and Shanqella were pagans. They would have been campaigned against by Ethiopia of any religion in EU2. Those campaigns were more like tradition of the Empire than a religious tradition, although religious differences did have a lot of impact on the choice of a victim.
YodaMaster said:
This event, aside from internal changes, is supposed to convert Bale to Sunni. Should I make another event for Bale for Sunni Ethiopia that only converts Bale?
YodaMaster said:
Absolutely
Be aware forum was busy when I made a modification to replaced conditions part... and I forgot to refresh while busy with another task...Lord Grave said:
Ok for 1, 2 (no need of shiite condition) and 3 and I just needed explanation for 3. Nothing wrong with this choice.Lord Grave said:
Yes, without trigger, big offset was not a problem. It is now.Lord Grave said:
"non-Christian" parts of the decription made me think to the religious condition. There is indeed no need of the condition if description is tweaked with something like "not state religion". better idea?
Better, a provincespec event with dates after 165008 can fire (1445) but also triggered by 165008 if Bale is owned by a Sunni country at this time or Ethiopia (with removal of conversion command in 165008). Ethiopia could be neighbour of Adal (CYR) or at war but not owning Bale...Lord Grave said:

Here are the religion trigger additions and the new province-specific event for Bale.
#-#The Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church was invited to participate as part of the delegation of the Patriarchate of Alexandria in the Council of Florence, that attempted the reunion of the Eastern and Western churches. The Ethiopian delegates did not arrived to Florence until 1441, and they were very surprised when everybody asked them about a Prester John that was clearly not one of the many titles of the King of Kings. Afterwards Zara Yaqob took the opportunity to send another diplomatic mission to Europe in 1450. He obtained from Pope Nicholas V the dedication of St. Stefano Rotondo as an Ethiopian Church in Rome. He also communicated with Alfonso V of Aragon, then champion of Christians in the Oriental Mediterranean, with some success.
#-#A legal code written in the XIII century by a Christian Coptic of Egypt in Arabic, based on Roman, Byzantine and Ecclesiatical law, was translated on the orders of Zara Yaqob in 1450. He then started applying parts of it to his Kingdom, and for example appointed legal administrators to decide which cases were to be solved by local governors and which by central government. The measures were very succesful, and the code received the name of ''Laws of the Kings'' or Fetha Negest. In 1563 it will become the constitution of Ethiopia until 1931. The Fetha Negest was a cornerstone of the Feudal system that characterized imperial Ethiopia until its end.
#-#After many years of violent internal divisiveness between clergy on issues of Ethiopian Orthodox Church dogma, Zara Yakob lead a successful campaign to normalize church doctrine on issues such as the Sabbath and circumcision. In 1450, he held the Council of Mitmaq, in the hopes that the two abunas (bishops) and all the other major clergy branches would set down a unified church dogma.
#-#In some aspects, Zara Yaqob was a great reformer, but what really defined Ethiopia was its religion, and the Negus was a profoundly religious man. Over centuries of isolation, with only a tenuous connection with the Patriarch in Alexandria, the Orthodox in Ethiopia had become split over several questions. Zara Yaqob sought to unify also the Ethiopian Church and imposed the cult of the Virgin Mary in all the churches. He indefatigably prosecuted other religions and all forms of deviations and heresies, to the point of putting to death three of his own daughters (he had over 54 offspring) together with many others on suspicion of idolatry. The example strongly impressed his subjects, that from then on considered him a saint.
#-#The Christians in Ethiopia had been resisting Islam for seven centuries. They were helped by the mountainous topography of their country and by the fact that none of their Muslim neighbours was specially powerful. However over the centuries, Muslim faith had infiltrated Ethiopia to the point that seven of its Kingdoms had become Muslim: Ifat, Dawaro, Arbabini, Hadiya, Shakara, Bale and Dara. With the rise in power of Adal, Ethiopia became subject to periodic invasions, that were made extremely dangerous because many Muslim Ethiopians would side with the invader. That was the case of sultan Shihab Badlay, known as the Beast (Awen) Badlay, who in one campaing wrestled Bale from Ethiopia, and in another tried to do the same with Dawaro. Zara Yaqob met the challenge, and at the battle of Gomit it is told that he trespassed Badlay's neck with his lance. He then ordered his foe's body cut in pieces that he sent to all the cities in the Kingdom. With the recovery of Bale, and the crushing of Adal and her allies, Ethiopia had bough time.
#-#Islam has been spreading in eastern Africa with the strengthening of the Sultanate of Adal. So many Kingdoms in southern Ethiopia have converted to Islam that it can now be conisdered mostly Muslim region.

I just thought that after event:
155000. Ottoman Assistance
it could trigger an event for Ethopia:
(Byzantine could help us)
Basically:
if Byzantine may decide if they sent the aid the ottomans to sent to Ethopia.
If they are countrysize 3 or less, Action A will see them decline, action B sent a small amount, if countrsize 4 or more Action A will see sent a small amount, action B sent money and troops (and landinvestement), action c will see them decline.
I would write the events for that, if you like that.
Further, what about events for Adal and Ethopia for a final beggin for help at their muslim/christian brothers if they are countrysize 1 and are at war.
This would trigger support events (Decline/small gift/sent help) for Aden (and the other nations form the arabian penisula), Ottomans, Mameluks, Mogadishu, Marocco and Byzantium/Morea/Russia/Papal States/Portugal/Spain.
