Well it looks like it is Wednesday again so that must mean we have another developer’s dairy. This week we are going to tell you about events.
In Napoleon’s Ambition we have already added over 100 additional events and we’ll be looking to add some more before we are finished. Our goal is to make games of EU3 more varied; we have done this in two ways. First by simply adding more events we increase the number of possible events that can fire creating more differences in the events you see. Secondly we have tried to make the majority of the new events tied to choices you have made. So we have events that trigger for ideas, policy sliders, and province resources. So we are trying to make things a little less random (not too much because sometimes random is good) and a little more, well I chose this so now I must live with the consequences. To support these we have added new triggers and commands. The centrepiece of this has to be the events to simulate the revolutionary era. We put a lot of thought into these events because we wanted to do them right. However the revolution events can wait for another dev dairy, today we are going to look at the Librium Veto. As Poland in EU2 you realty didn’t want the Librium Veto so we felt you would need a good reason to take it. So the Librium Veto event chain works something like this. If you are highly aristocratic, decentralised and at war your nobles will ask for the Librium Veto. Accepting it will reduce your war exhaustion; give your army tradition and free troops. Refusing leads to revolts. As long as you are at war the nobles will support you with free troops and small reductions in war exhaustion. When at peace the nobles will want concessions, demanding you remain aristocratic and decentralised and they will also look for tax reductions, failure to give them what they want leads to revolts and stability drops. Eventually under a good monarch you will be given the opportunity to reform, removing the Librium Veto and centralising your state. However if you do this then your neighbours will pick up cores on your provinces, setting you up for a partition. With the following neat new event syntax:
and your neighbours get this
using the FROM command the event will remember which country originally called the event allowing you to create a link between the two events. This gives us great new options for when we add events to Napoleon, and gives moders event more flexibility.
Of course we have added some more ideas to Napoleon, so to give you a little taster here are some of the art for the idea pictures, have fun speculating.
Happy Midsummer!!!!!!
