#-#Cromwell, Lord Protector of the English Commonwealth promulgated the Act of Navigation in 1651. It was mostly directed against the Dutch carrier trade and provided that all goods shipped to and from England was to be transported on English ships, while also confirming the colonial exclusive policy. The Act directly caused the first English-Dutch war of 1652-1654 and the second in 1665-1667. At the Peace of Breda (1667), New Amsterdam (New York) was exchanged for Surinam (Dutch Guiana) and the Act slightly modified. It nevertheless contributed to the enormous growth in English naval and colonial trade.

Code:

		command = { type = naval value = 250 }
	}
}
#-#In naval warfare, line of battle is a tactic in which the ships of the fleet form a line, end-to-end. Its origins are traditionally ascribed to the navy of the Commonwealth of England, especially to General at Sea Robert Blake who wrote the Sailing and Fighting Instructions of 1653, but it was already used in the Action of 18 September 1639 by Dutch Lieutenant-Admiral Maarten Tromp. \n \nThe line of battle has the advantage over previous naval tactics — in which ships closed on each other for individual combat — that each ship in the line can fire its broadside without fear of hitting a friendly ship. Therefore in any given amount of time more shots can be fired by the entire fleet. Another advantage is that a relative movement of the line in relation to some part of the enemy fleet allows for a systematic concentration of fire on that part. To fend off this possibility the other fleet too can move in a line, with the result so typical for sea battle since 1675: two fleets sailing along each other or in opposite tack. A ship powerful enough to stand in the line of battle came to be known as a "ship of the line" (of battle) or a "line of battle" ship which shortened to become "battleship". The line is at its most effective when moving perpendicular to the axis of movement of the enemy fleet, e.g. by "crossing the T" or by breaking the enemy line and moving through it (e.g. Four Days Battle, Battle of Schooneveld, Battle of Trafalgar), by trying to cut off and isolate part of the enemy's line and concentrating a stronger force on it (e.g. Battle of Texel, Battle of the Saintes), or by trying to 'double up' the enemy's ships (e.g. Battle of Beachy Head). This way the enemy ships block each other's line of fire.

#-#England had long had designs on Spain's American colonies and the Lord Protector wished to find profitable employment for the Army and Royal Navy after the conclusion of the 1st Anglo-Dutch War in 1654 lest they be tempted to overthrow his government. Furthermore such a scheme would advance the cause of Protestantism and add valuable lands to the realm. Cromwell selected Santo Domingo as the target for his expedition, but the Spanish discovered the whole scheme before they even set sail.

#-#Cromwell died in 1658. When his son Richard resigned office after only a year, the door was open for political anarchy as the flag of Rebellion was raised for Charles II in exile. Parliament was summoned. The Army started to rumble. A new Lord Protector by the name of John Lambert was suggested, but his role would be more of a military dictator than a protector. The people of good standing were poised with either a plundering army or a coalition between the army and political and religious radicals. A return to Monarchy, even with Bishops and House of Lords, but with guarantees for law and order started to sound like a good alternative. Cromwell's trusted man General Monk walked to London with his Army and Charles II was elected as King in 1660 after giving guarantees for amnesty and army salaries and the role of Parliament.

#-#James II came to power in 1685 and needed only three years to spend all of his credibility within Parliament. He openly worked for Catholicism and his own well being and with methods unacceptable for both Tories and Whigs. In 1688 Parliament called for William of Orange to become joint ruler of England together with his wife Mary, who was the Protestant daughter of James II. The marriage paved the way for the throne but also the fact that he was the son of the daughter of Charles I. William III brought 15,000 men but no blood was shed in the Glorious Revolution. The proclamation of William III king of England, was conditioned by the approval of the Bill of Rights, which stated important limitations to the royal authority: the king couldn't levy taxes, own personal armies, change state religion, pass laws without Parliament's consent and grant free elections for the renewal of the representatives in the Parliament. The Constitutional Monarchy was eventually born.

I just wait for EVENTHIST164142 and EVENTHIST164143. :)

i battled to keep them with modicications , but was overruled by the majority.

my idea was for ORL and BOU (both to only be 1 province minors) to be a vassal of dauphine and also in alliance from 1419.

Now I live with what I have and try to tweak the early strength of FRA down a bit , as sometimes , they ( FRA) are too quick in their conquests.

I still think ENG should start with one more province, ie poitou or orleans, but that needs testing

Oh well, we have a good game anyway,
I was the one to bring up the matter of the French minors this last decisive time, but I clearly stated that I was against their removal without a reworking of the whole HYW sequence which I had no time to undertake (and still haven't).

There are other things that should have been done to weaken DAU/FRA, instead of the ones you are proposing which, IMO, would bring us back to a worth situation than before, historically and gameplaywise.

_ Basetax values should be lowered in French provinces including major fiefdoms.
_ Champagne and Nivernais should not be ceded to DAU at Troyes, but to BUR.
_ After Troyes, BUR should always be brought into the ENG alliance by the vassal/alliance trick so that DAU has to fight both BUR and ENG. I'm quite sure this doesn't work as it should with the current version.


That said, I agree that we can live with what we have, for now.

i will look at this

_ Champagne and Nivernais should not be ceded to DAU at Troyes, but to BUR.

i implemented this and now is the current norm for the game

_ After Troyes, BUR should always be brought into the ENG alliance by the vassal/alliance trick so that DAU has to fight both BUR and ENG. I'm quite sure this doesn't work as it should with the current version.

this happens now, although not 100% of the time

I missed that. That was another thing that Ribbon fought hard against, BTW.
this happens now, although not 100% of the time
To be honest, it's been quite a while since I launched a 1419 campaign (I have been mostly playtesting my events for Corsica, starting in 1648), so I may have have missed other things that were fixed/improved during my absence.

about new event ENG_164142 I would suggest this action B with a small bugfix:

Code:
	action_b = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME164142B" #Nonsense! We are a republic!
		command = { type = religion which = protestant }
		command = { type = domestic which = CENTRALIZATION value = -4 }
		command = { type = domestic which = ARISTOCRACY value = -5 [COLOR=Yellow]}[/COLOR]
		command = { type = domestic which = OFFENSIVE value = -1 }
		[COLOR=Yellow]command = { type = domestic which = SERFDOM value = -3 }[/COLOR]
		command = { type = stability value = -3 }
		command = { type = sleepevent which = 164143 } #ENG: The Coronation
	}
}

As I said a so innovative Republic shoul cost more money for stability and afaik the best way to represent this is moving to "free subjects". Apart from changing the "narrowminded-innovative" setting.

But should 164142, when activated by action B, be the last event for a human playing England or is the event about Restoration of the Stuarts going to happen the same in 1660?

Event ENG_3028 for confrontation.
Also, do we need to have a twin event of 3028 to cover this alternative path?

Same question for 164143 action B.

I'll post EVENTHIST164142 and EVENTHIST164143 later today, but it looks like I'll also need to edit one or two segments of earlier event texts, particularly any references to Cromwell being Lord Protector unless he is actually so, and only 1653 and after.

Also, we need to make sure we don't get any irrelevant/Stuart events until 1712 (he died July 12th) if Richard IV is crowned. The best thing is, in order to use his historical death date, is to have it so when he dies there is a Convention Parliament (the usual formality when the succession is in question) until the Electress Sophia dies, whence George I will succeed on the historical date.

That way, we avoid the Stuart Restoration (something far less likely to have taken place if the House of Cromwell had accepted the throne), yet still manage to return to the normal timeframe with the House of Hanover.

The Act of Union will be handled accordingly.

I'll do the new monarchs now, and post any other (flavour?) events I feel necessary for Richard IV's timeline when I do the requested event texts.

:)

EDIT: Post #2416 updated with the new monarch (the final Interregnum) and Richard's historical death date: July 12th, 1712.

Amendment to event #3026:

#-#"Be it declared and enacted by this present Parliament and by the Authoritie of the same That the People of England and of all the Dominions and Territoryes thereunto belonging are and shall be and are hereby constituted, made, established, and confirmed to be a Commonwealth and free State And shall from henceforth be Governed as a Commonwealth and Free State by the supreame Authoritie of this Nation, the Representatives of the People in Parliament and by such as they shall appoint and constitute as Officers and Ministers under them for the good of the People and that without any King or House of Lords."

ACTIONNAME3026A;Sign it!;;;;;;;;;;

Amendment to event #3027:

#-#Oliver Cromwell, "Captain-General and Commander-in-Chief of the Forces raised, and to be raised, within the Commonwealth of England" promulgated the Act of Navigation in 1651. It was mostly directed against the Dutch carrier trade and provided that all goods shipped to and from England were to be transported on English ships, while also confirming the colonial exclusive policy. The Act directly caused the first Anglo-Dutch war of 1652-1654 and the second in 1665-1667. At the Peace of Breda (1667), New Amsterdam (New York) was exchanged for Surinam (Dutch Guiana) and the Act was slightly modified. It nevertheless contributed to the enormous growth in English naval and colonial trade.

EVENTHIST for #164142:

#-#After the dissolution of the Barebones Parliament, John Lambert put forward a new constitution known as the Instrument of Government, closely modelled on the Heads of Proposals. It made Cromwell Lord Protector for life, in order to undertake “the chief magistracy and the administration of government”. He had the power to call and dissolve parliaments but obliged under the Instrument to seek the majority vote of the Council of State. However, Cromwell's power was also buttressed by his continuing popularity among the army, which he had built up during the civil wars, and which he subsequently prudently guarded. Cromwell was sworn in as Lord Protector on 15 December 1653. The creation of the office of Lord Protector added an ominous - and to the Royalist faction, extremely useful - element of hypocrisy to the fledling republic, and seemed only to further weaken a series of parliaments already dominated by Cromwell. Conversely, the wielding of such immense power in the hands of by far the single most capable man in government meant that decisions were pushed through a lot quicker, and the nation - at home as well as abroad - had a single, iconic figurehead to swear allegiance to. Just like the kings of old, Cromwell's image was emblazoned on all Commonwealth sterling. The only thing missing, was a crown...

EVENTHIST for #164143:

#-#In 1657, Cromwell was offered the crown by Parliament as part of a revised constitutional settlement, presenting him with a dilemma, since he had been instrumental in abolishing the Stuart monarchy. Cromwell agonised for six weeks over the offer. He was attracted by the prospect of stability it held out, but in a speech on 13 April 1657 he made clear that God's providence had spoken against the office of king: “I would not seek to set up that which Providence hath destroyed and laid in the dust, and I would not build Jericho again”. Instead, Cromwell was ceremonially re-installed as Lord Protector at Westminster Hall, sitting upon King Edward's Chair, which was specially moved from Westminster Abbey for the occasion. Notably, the office of Lord Protector was still not to become hereditary, though Cromwell was now able to nominate his own successor. Cromwell himself, however, was at pains to minimise his role, describing himself as a constable or watchman, not as a supreme head of state.

I'm going to script an alt. Act of Union event, so you'll need to put a NOT = Richard IV clause in the current event. I've already requested the Protectorate Union Flag as a hanging flag in the GRT. :)

The current event itself is fine because it's fairly generic, but I'd like to change the event text a tad and of course use the new flag.

Also, I've stumbled upon another possible minor problem: scrolling down the English event file, these Hanover/George I events aren't going to pop up with event texts about Queen Anne, William III, etc. are they?

If we have Richard as ruler from 1658 - 1712 (no Stuart Restoration), then we don't want any Stuart event text for events about George I becoming king.

Other than that, I've done the requested event texts (post above this), and I think everything else is alright. We can run tests anyway, and you can look through and add/amend any triggers that need doing - mainly for the long period of time that Richard could be king.

#-#Despite being one of the longest reigns in the history of the British Isles, Richard Cromwell's tenure as king wasn't a particuarly eventful one. From the death of his father, that great warring republican-cum-usurper, Oliver I, in 1658, Richard's life had been one of constant quarrel with, and estrangement from, the various parliaments which had ruled the nations over which he nominally presided. Like his father - a man whose ghost the indifferent king never could quite lay to rest - Richard had always been a republican at heart, so quite how he managed to rule over his ever-expanding territories as an annointed king for over fifty years was the source of much bafflement to everyone. After several largely insignificant and wholly unsuccessful landings by Charles Stuart and his ever-optimistic Scots entourage, Richard finally gave in to Parliament (a seemingly recurring theme) and signed Lambert's Act of Union, a series of documents and hearings legally and definitively uniting Richard's territories into a single kingdom of Great Britain. The old Commonwealth coat of arms was abolished, leaving Oliver I's Protectorate flag as the sole banner of Great Britain. The House of Commons in Westminster exercised supreme judicial and military power over every inch of the new kingdom. With no elected assembley north of the border and no sizable military garrison to try and lure to their cause, the Stuart Pretender and his friends would have to try a little harder next time...

Assuming that trigger still works, the event should be fine. It should fire anytime between 1670 and 1710, Scotland has to be either a vassal of England, or, not exist and England own provinces 238 and 239. For either trigger, Richard IV must be king.

}[/COLOR]

#-#Despite siring several notable bastards, the death of the childless Queen Dorothy in 1676 coupled with Parliament's refusal to let Richard marry his mistress (on the grounds that she had previously been married to a Roman Catholic) meant that, effectively, the House of Cromwell would come to an end with the king's demise. Richard was outraged, condemning both the Commons and his role as a constitutional monarch. For years, the king had maintained that the only reason Parliament possessed the power it did was because of his father - and for years, his cries fell on deaf ears. Finally, in 1701, the ailing king made a stand, declaring the Act of Settlement, a piece of royal legislation handing the crown to the eldest surviving heir of Sophia, Electress of Hanover. In the beginning, Parliament was outraged, and issued a writ against the legislation, claiming it was illegal as it had not been through the Commons. A few months later, however, the king's beloved mistress caught Scarlet fever, dying almost immediately. Richard was thrown into prolonged bouts of melancholy, and in a rare of act of sympathy, Parliament finally accepted the Act of Settlement, knowing that realistically, the old and distraught king could never produce an heir.

#-#On July 12th, 1712, Richard IV's eighty-five year-old body finally gave up on him. The ancient heir of Oliver Cromwell died, not at Whitehall or at Windsor, but in a chair by the fire in his father's old home in Huntingdon - the same room in which he was born. Over a decade earlier, Richard had signed the Act of Settlement, promising the crown to the Protestant successors of James I by way of Sophia, Electress of Hanover. Despite his natural distain for the English and their strange customs, George was a capable soldier and a gifted administrator, previously serving as both Field Marshal and Imperial Archtreasurer respectively. However long and complacent Richard IV's reign may have been, it did garner this unlikely success. By 1714, the kingdom bequeathed to the House of Hanover was in virtual anarchy. Not only had it gone without a head of state for over two years, but the vast sums of money required to continue her participation in the War of Spanish Succession had resulted in Parliament declaring national bankruptcy twice since 1708. German or not, the arrival of Prince George in the summer of 1714 could not have come at a better moment.

Please, remember that the three Georges are still non dormant and an alternative event to ENG_164028 (or ENG_164044 which covers any possible hole) would also be needed, at least to inform the player that the Hanoverians or the Stuarts (if action B provided!) are going to rule over the British isles.

I think that's everything covered. I'll do one or two flavour events later - a Scots invasion seems an obvious thing, and a Jacobite-style landing from across the channel, but supporters of Charles (II), not James.

Also, what about Scotland? There will no doubt be several events assuming that Charles II is king, when in fact it could be the Council of State or Richard IV, etc.

Yes, starting from SCO_276004 there are several events to deal with England and many of them about vassalizing or being vassalized. They are to be connected with new suggestions expecially the eventual return of the Stuarts and the Jacobite rebellions.

Some events are doubled to check any possible French vassalization as to avoid the possibility to have the Hanoverians on the throne with France as liege where only the Stuarts would be legitimate.

Okay doke, Bordic. I'll do one or two flavour events for England (probably do about Ireland as well), then have a look at the Scots event file.

With any luck, I'll have something of substance posted later today. :)

A minor niggle, but relevant nonetheless: could you please change all references to the Union Jack to Union Flag in text.csv, please?

A jack is a small flag flown at the bow of a ship, and generally refers to the occasions on which the Union Flag is associated with the Royal Navy.

To refer to the Union Flag as the Union Jack in general is in fact an error, and should be corrected. :)
