Regarding the events for Mainz, just comment out all commands referring to Magdeburg and they should be fine.
Generally it might be wise to comment out the stuff referring to Magdeburg instead of deleting it entirely. That would save some work when reintroducing Magdeburg, which we are probably going to do with the new map.

That means event MAI_217000 will always fire (no conditions in trigger), right?

Yes, commands will only be commented out, same for full events. See example for event 273000 "Wettins inherit the Electorate (1422)" in post above.

MAG (former Magdeburg) entries will be removed in armynames.csv (no # in csv) but I will have a backup of these entries to reintroduce them for "new" Magdeburg.

Directly from Iberian thread: there is a discussion about the Fugger event, but there is also the HAB version of this SPA3154 event:

Code:
#The Fuggers# modified by mnorrefeldt
event = {

	id = 3183
	random = no
	country = HAB
	name = "EVENTNAME3183"
	desc = "EVENTHIST3183"
	style = 2

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1514 }
	offset = 30
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1520 }

	action_a ={				#Let the Fuggers run our Finances#
		name = "ACTIONNAME3183A"
		command = { type = loansize which = 500 }
		command = { type = treasury value = -100 }
		command = { type = merchants value = 6 }
		command = { type = inflation value = -5 }
	}

	action_b ={				#Turn the Fuggers offer down#
		name = "ACTIONNAME3183B"
		# command = { type = treasury value = -100 } # modified by mnorrefeldt
		command = { type = stability value = -3 }
		command = { type = inflation value = 10 }
	}
}
So what to do?
First proposals by Fodoron were:
As a first measure I would reduce the loansize to 300, and change the inflation, so it is not so horrendous to turn them down.

I think treasury in action_A should be +100, loansize 250 or 300 and inflation -2;
in action_B lesser inflation, let's say +2 and treasury command definitely removed.

Generally speaking more money circulating means much more inflation, so inflation values should be the other way around, IMO!

To incentivate the player to choose action_A with more inflation we should assign more cash...

Missing or bad offsets/deathdates
Austria should gain Krain (367) and corresponding core.
Ostmarch (327) is not part of Austria in AGCEEP.
 
All these events shall be reworked as Twoflower proposed in King Sigismund & all thread. I suggested an alternative Austria unites with Styria events in the Krain thread that I haven't submitted because it wouldn't quite fit with Twoflower's plan. It could serve as a temporary replacement, if you think it's worth the trouble of changing it twice in a very short time.

EDIT: see here

Let's wait for Twoflower's proposal then. In the meantime, my corrections will apply.
I'm going to complete the events in the first week of January. Right now I'm staying at my parents' place without the stuff I have already written up (forgot to take the file with me on my USB stick as I had originally planned), so I cannot continue until December 31st when I'm going back. Sorry for my slow working speed.
 
I post a question here I posted in "Scenarios consistency":
In 1648 scenario is it normal to have Kleves (343) province with reformed religion and Berg one-province minor in this province with catholic state religion?
 
In my recent game Austria turned protestant. In 1629 they got the edict of restitution event. It is clear that the first option does not make sense at all for a protestant Austria, and something needs to be done. I do not know much about what a protestant Austria could plausibly have done. It seems to me that enforcing imperial power (something Ferdinand II would probably want in either religion) can only be done while helping catholics (something a protestant Ferdinand would probably not want to) but perhaps this is not the case.

I would propose adding a religion=catholic(or counterreform) trigger to the original event. And make a new event that gives the option to introduce the edict of restitution if they are protestant, with not doing so being the a option. Both options should remove the revoltrisk from the 2nd defenestration of prague (it would probably be cleaner to make a specific event for this). Chosing to implement the edict should give innovativeness, some dissent and if at all realistic 1 or 2 conversions to catholicism. The a option should good give relations to all electors (they dislike imperial power)

Are my presumptions realistic? Does this seem to make sense?

Yes… Kleves and Mark is mainly Calvinistic (and that is the first Calvinist part of the Bradenburgian Mark too). The religious situation in Berg is somewhat complicated. In fact in Jülich province (I believe Berg represents it too in AGCEEP) the Catholics were in majority, but in Berg - the Calvinists (in addition Düsseldorf was the important regional Calvinist center). Still, the XVII century was the time of recatholization for Jülich-Berg, which was part of the possession of ultra-catholic Count-Palatines of Neuburg.

On second thought, since we can test if HAB is indeed the emperor. Doesn't it make more sense to have an internal only event that triggers always (but possibly in different versions for different religions) that removes for example the rr in bohemia, and a separate event that triggers only if HAB is emperor that deals with the international effects of the edict of restitution.

The idea is that Ferdinand II would internally be religiously intolerant. And if given the opportunity (ie: if he was emperor) he would solidify imperial power and advocate/help catholicism (or not if he was protestant).

Thanks for your answer. According to Reformation mod, the provinces of Kleves and Münster have only a tiny chance to become protestant or reformed (and no chance in vanilla). Since we have abstractions in EU2 (without a more detailed map :) ) for these provinces, I suppose Kleves being catholic is the best setting for 1648.

Other problem with Germany, 1648 scenario, and Reformation mod:
The province of Mainz should be reformed in 1648 according to high probabilities in Reformation mod but what about state culture of Mainz (catholic country actually)?

Finally, in 1648, Erz belongs to Saxony. Shouldn't it be part of Austria instead?

Well, Mainz province should be Calvinist for some period, but well at last later may be there is a reason to make some kind of event about counterreformation here? It could fix the things.

Erz represents Lusatia region, which Saxony received in result of the Peace of Westphalia. This is not very correct really, as what then will represent Erz in this scenario? ;) May be just increase base tax value in Saxony province to represent Lusatia and return Erz to Austria?
 
I assume I need to post proposed leader corrections for BRA and PRU (which I just researched for vanilla) leaders here?

Unfortunately I didn't had the time to read *all* of this thread, but I briefly read it and hoped I catched all leader proposals. I also have the current AGCEEP leader files for reference.

To kick off with one:

----------------------------
AGCEEP has for the BRA leader Derfflinger (id 36005) as a death date 1695 (his actual death date). However, his last military campaign was in 1690 against Louis XIV when he was 84 years old. It doesn't seem to be reasonable to give him 5 years longer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derfflinger

Therefore, I propose for him:

Code:
historicalleader = {
		id = { type = 6 id = 36005 }
		category = general
		name = "Derfflinger"
		startdate = {
			year = 1654
		}
		deathdate = {
                                    year = 1690 #not 1695
		}
		rank = 2
		movement = 3
		fire = 4
		shock = 3
		siege = 1
	}

There's also the great general Anhalt-Dessau (ID 36006) in the leader file for BRA, which should instead be in the leader file for PRU in my opinion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_I,_Prince_of_Anhalt-Dessau

About ranks
What is by the way the minimal rank one needs to have to be included as a leader? Anhalt-Dessau became colonel of a Prussian regiment in 1693 for example and his first campaign was in 1695. AGCEEP has a start date of 1695.

Schwerin (ID 100501, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Christoph_von_Schwerin) has a start date of 1720 in AGCEEP. However, he became major-general in 1718. Wouldn't 1718 be a better start date?

Seydlitz (ID 100506) has a start date of 1752 in AGCEEP, but became a major in 1745.

Bülow (ID 100511) became captain in 1792, AGCEEP has his start date 1808 when he became major-general.

What to do with such cases? this post by Isaac Brock says the leaders should have served as army commanders, but this is quite vague.
 
AGCEEP have not taken account of ranks that much, but instead of whether they had any independent command in battle. I think other circumstances, like if there was a war going on at the time, and number of other leaders at the time, can be used in such cases, to set a fitting date.
Changed deathdate for Derfflinger makes good sense to me, I know too little to comment on the rest.

He should be in BRA's file because he started his service in 1693, which was before the foundation of the kingdom of Prussia. After the tag switch, Brandenburg-Prussia keeps him until his deathdate. A problem could only come up if we converted the vanilla 1700 scenario, where the Prussia existing at scenario start in 1700 wouldn't get him. This could be solved simply by having the country start as Brandenburg and let it turn into Prussia by the event in 1701, but this is not relevant yet anyway, since currently we don't have a 1700 scenario.

Having him start in 1693 would be ok I suppose; what I went with generally is the time at which the person had a command over a unit big enough to be represented by a EU2 army.
Schwerin (ID 100501, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Christoph_von_Schwerin) has a start date of 1720 in AGCEEP. However, he became major-general in 1718. Wouldn't 1718 be a better start date?
He became a major-general in the army of the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, whom he should in fact serve for some time, in 1718, and only entered Prussian service in 1720, as is mentioned in the wikipedia article you refer to.
Seydlitz (ID 100506) has a start date of 1752 in AGCEEP, but became a major in 1745.
Well, this depends on whether we consider major a rank high enough to already include him that early. I'm inclined to think that since this is still a rather subaltern position that rarely gets to command an army in the EU2 sense and also since Prussia has quite a good coverage of leaders during the First and Second Silesian Wars and Seydlitz only really rose to prominence in the Seven Years' War, his promotion to lieutenant-colonel in 1752 makes for a better starting point.
Bülow (ID 100511) became captain in 1792, AGCEEP has his start date 1808 when he became major-general.
Yes, and quite intentionally, since captains don't command armies.

I understand that AGCEEP hasn't a independent Prussia before 1701, as in vanilla?

He became a major-general in the army of the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, whom he should in fact serve for some time, in 1718, and only entered Prussian service in 1720, as is mentioned in the wikipedia article you refer to.

But MEC hasn't a leader file right? So, if that nation doesn't exist as a separate file, why not include him in the PRU file?

Okay, I tend to understand the criteria of 'commanding an army' better now.

Yes, and quite intentionally, since captains don't command armies.

However, in the case of Bülow, he was a military instructor then. I thought those were included as leaders as well (at least in vanilla they are). He also participated in the campaigns of 1792-94 on the Rhine and became major in 1794, so having 1808 as the starting date doesn't seem to be correct. (Unless you argue that being a major also doesn't match the criterium of course).

There's also the issue that Bülow had a conflict with Blücher, leading to him being temporary retired till 1811, which means that 1811 is then a better date than 1808, if you want to take his rank and activeness both in account.

Kingdom of Prussia, yes. But PRU tag is used for Duchy of Prussia, until 1618.

Every country (tag) will have a separate leaders file in next AGCEEP version (even if this file is empty). Well, leaders.mec won't be empty anymore. :)

Ah I see, but that means the leader files could use a research to check if some have to move to other tags, right?

Is MEC indepedent in 1718 in AGCEEP?
 
FAL said:

In this case, if I understand, several occurrences of same leader have to be put in corresponding possible leaders file as dormant. An event must check "situation" and awake leader for the "right" country at the "right" time.

No idea, it could probably.
