It can happen but it depends if England was involved in wars or not. I don't see this very often in my tests for any country, except as the result of the billions treasury bug.

ENG only had 4200g and no colonists available fast enough to colonize their one tp
 
4200 is much more than needed for the building of a shipyard when there is nothing else to build and AI doesn't want to build manufactories. But wars are always costly for AI. England was certainly very peaceful in order to have such available treasury, wasn't she?
 
is there a way for ENG AI to send most of their troups in France in order to fight for the duration of HYW ?
they seem to settle their troups in England :wacko:
Maybe Toio can answer this question. Maybe some paramaters in the AI files... but not sure because of the Channel.

i used to use this file below, but it led to 50% of games, DAU being smashed.
I just retried it, in 2 games and had win for ENG and win for DAU

so changes are in yellow, but check file in case i missed a change not indicated

This file will send 98% of english troops to the rim of the empire, in PEACE time

In war, conquer section will take over, but you should see the following:
-English build many troops in english owned french lands,
-England will try to get GASCOYNE back from BRI or DAU by marching troops down from the north of france
- wars will be longer

How about an alternative monarch to James I for England? Other heirs were named by Henry VIII's will, and/or Elizabeth I could marry and produce a continuation of the Tudor dynasty...

A logical dynasty could be the de la Poles, though that would largely depend on a forced usurpation after the death of Henry VIII or Edward VI.

You could, for example, have a small event chain dealing with the early Tudors' systematic hunt for & execution of the remaining Yorkist pretenders, culminating with Margaret Pole (Edward IV's niece) and her children.

Still, you'd need to make it realistic, and I wouldn't propose using fantasy monarchs - the line should end with the death of the last historical member of the Pole family.

This is just an idea, and England has plenty of alt. history stuff at present anyway. Also, I certainly don't recommend replacing Elizabeth I until the Queen Jane sequence is finished.
 
I propose a new sequence for France in India.

EVENTNAME170333;The 'Compagnie Française des Indes Orientales';;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST170333;The French East India Company was a commercial enterprise, founded in 1664 to compete with the British and Dutch East India companies. Planned by Jean Baptiste Colbert, it was chartered by King Louis XIV for the purpose of trading in the Eastern Hemisphere. The first Director General for the Company was François Caron, who had spent 30 years working for the Dutch East India Company. The company was granted a 50-year monopoly on French trade in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, a region stretching from the Cape of Good Hope to the Straits of Magellan. The Company failed to found a successful colony on Madagascar, but was able to establish ports on the nearby islands of Bourbon and Île-de-France (today's Réunion and Mauritius). In 1673 it had established itself at Pondicherry, first step of the french presence in India.;;;;;;;;;;

modified trigger as first french diplomats in Siam were members of the company

I propose also to remove the explorer Beaulieu :

	rank = 13
	movement = 2
	fire = 1
	shock = 1
	siege = 0
	dormant = no
}[/COLOR]

and to replace him by François Pyrard :

Code:
historicalleader = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 049853 }
	category = explorer
	name = "F. Pyrard" #François Pyrard
	startdate = {
		day = 11

	}
	deathdate = {

	rank = 13
	movement = 2
	fire = 1
	shock = 1
	siege = 0
	dormant = no

So only issue, which is really an issue with all trading company sequences, is that when would the player be likely to opt out of forming the trading company? I can only really think of a situation where the player isn't want to get involved in India. Other than that, making that gatekeeper event really only serves to hurt the AI, as it is the one that will randomnly end up without forming the company and not getting the extra good events.
 
You're right. This is something we can't avoid in such sequences if we don't want to have an AI only event... (or an ai_chance option for actions, if you see what I mean).

It can be solved without action_b but players will feel forced... (no choice).
 
Yeah, I just wonder what our "best practices" should be for chains like this...as it seems that the AI could "miss out" on some important sequences. But at the same time, we shouldn't railroad the player...so I guess with current functionality, two events (ai and player) is the best way to go about such?
 
Yes, only a limited number of events could have such treatment. Toio said the same for the Burgundian Capital.

We have the solution for the future. But this is not the right time. :)

in this case a solution would be to increase the cost of the company : from 300 to 600 ? Under the reign of Louis XIV france have to pay a huge amount of money, if we increase this cost the player will think before click on action A (moreover it is historical). But the effect on AI is not very good :(

But you are right, it is the main problem of these sequences and your idea of AI events is good :)

One question : do I have to change something ?
 
Only thing to do would be a twin event of FRA_170333 with condition ai = yes and no action_b and ai = no as new condition in FRA_170333.

Anyway, remaining problem will be AI not choosing Colbert first (i.e. action_b in FRA_12074)...
 
After discussion with Yodamaster i propose to delete these events :

and to modify this one :

Code:
event = {
	id = 170003
	trigger = {
		domestic = { type = centralization value = 5 }
		year = 1650
		NOT = { year = 1715 }
		[COLOR="Yellow"]countrysize = 20[/COLOR]
	}
	random = yes
	country = FRA
	name = "EVENTNAME12077" #Louis XIV's Extravagance
	desc = "EVENTHIST12077"
	#-#Louis XIV was an extravagant monarch. France was often forced to suffer in order to indulge him.

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME12038A" #C'est la Vie...
		command = { type = treasury value = -200 }
	}
}

Indeed, under the reign of Louis XIV, france have already to pay 4800, with the most likely events (what excludes the colonial events). Moreover some of the other events show the extravagant life of Louis XIV. We can keep 170003 as it will not be too hard for a big france (countrysize 20).

i propose to modify these events :

}
EVENTNAME170331;Division of Guiana;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST170331;The Treaty of Breda formally divided Guiana between the Dutch and French.;;;;;;;;;;

The treaty of Breda was the result of a war between several nations including France and the Netherlands. If the name of that treaty is mentioned in the text, should not the existance of the Netherlands be a condition of the event and a somewhat historically strong France?

e.g. as triggers:
exists = HOL
and
countrysize = 20
so that France should have a normal size before laying claim to south america?
And perhaps too much to check, but I would say that France should not be at war with HOL.

According to the wiki about the Treaty of Breda
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Breda_(1667)
the treaty went into effect on different dates varying on region due to slow communication - for "other areas" the 24.04.1668 is mentioned. I would not change the date of the event, but I would recommend to use a larger offset than 10, perhaps 60.

EVENTHIST186091;The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814 confirmed Britain in its control of Guyana.;;;;;;;;;;

I do not understand that event. The text mentions that the treaty confirmed England in control of Guyana, but the event adds a core for the Netherlands?

Did you perhaps mean
country = ENG
so that the even fires for England?
