As discussed, here are two new event mock-ups for Dutch colonial cores.
Code:
#(1609-1620) Discovery of New Netherland
event = {
id = xx
trigger = {
flag = [VOC]
OR = {
discovered = 87 #Manhattan
discovered = 862 #Cheasapeake Bay
}
}
random = no
country = HOL
name = "EVENTNAMExx" #Discovery of New Netherland
desc = "EVENTHISTxx"
#-#
date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1609 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1620 }
action_a = {
name = "GOOD"
command = { type = addcore which = 87 } #Manhattan
command = { type = addcore which = 88 } #Catskill
command = { }
}
}
On the 3rd of September 1609, English explorer, Henry Hudson discovered the area now known on as New York while attempting to find a northwest passage to the East Indies. Traveling up the Husdon River, he went as far as modern-day Albany and claimed all lands for his employer the VOC.
Code:
#(1623-1660) Formation of New Netherland
event = {
id = xxx
trigger = {
[color=yellow]owned = { province = 87 data = -1 } #Manhattan[/color]
OR = {
owned = { province = 86 data = -1 } #Delaware
[color=red]owned = { province = 87 data = -1 } #Manhattan[/color]
owned = { province = 88 data = -1 } #Catskill
owned = { province = 102 data = -1 } #Connecticut
}
}
random = no
country = HOL
name = "EVENTNAMExxx" #Formation of New Netherland
desc = "EVENTHISTxxx"
#-#
date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1623 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 29 month = december year = 1660 }
action_a = {
name = "GOOD"
command = { type = trade value = 100 }
command = { type = merchants value = 2 }
command = { type = addcore which = 86 } #Delaware
command = { type = addcore which = 87 } #Manhattan
command = { type = addcore which = 88 } #Catskill
command = { type = addcore which = 102 } #Connecticut
command = { }
}
}
Following the discovery of New Netherland, Fort Oranje was erected, near modern-day Albany, to protect Dutch trading with the Indians for furs. In 1621, the States General of the United Provinces granted the newly incorporated Westindische Compagnie (WIC) a 24 year trading monopoly in America and Africa. By 1623, New Netherland would be granted provincial status and the WIC began organizing permanent Dutch settlement.
We may at some point want to have have a separate [WIC] flag that helps manage whether or not the Netherlands get various events in the West much the same as [VOC] does for the East. (Like for instance how Dutch Conflict with Portugal gives the Dutch cores on Brazil without any triggers.)
