EVENTNAME147063;We have conquered Taiwan;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST147063;The Emperor Kiangxi commented when his admiral Shi Lang received the surrender of Taiwan in 1683 that "Taiwan is no bigger than a ball of mud. We gain nothing by possessing it, and it would be no loss if we did not acquire it." He wished to remove the Chinese settlers and abandon Taiwan because of the deep-seated traditional idea that China was bounded by the seas. But Shi Lang argued forcefully for Taiwan's inclusion in the Qing empire: The island could not be left to its own devices because it would be used by pirates or foreign powers, who were "drooling" over it. It was, moreover, a bounteous place: "Fish and salt spout forth from the sea; the mountains are filled with dense forests of tall trees and thick bamboo; there are sulfur, rattan, sugarcane, deerskins, and all that is needed for daily living. Nothing is lacking. . . . This is truly a bountifully fertile piece of land and a strategic territory." Thanks to Shi Lang's arguments, the Emperor decided to make Taiwan a prefecture attached to Fujian Province. For all that Taiwan was neglected by the Qing the settlers and natives were discontented. There were more than a hundred rebellions during the Qing Dynasty. The frequency of rebellions, riots, and civil strife in Qing Dynasty Taiwan is evoked by the common saying "every three years an uprising; every five years a rebellion".;;;;;;;;;;

Is an event triggering an inheritance of U14 necessary if Taiwan is Qing controlled for a year or so and is the capital? How likely is it that the AIs would peace out without U14 being annexed in this situation?

About post #401, you can't test the existence of a foreign monarch, only foreign leaders. For foreign monarchs, only solution is keeping track of Qing dynasty events and dates.

About post #402, there is a potential problem with moving the capital and Taiwan being only a TP...
And condition is "control", not "controlled".

I was really trying to avoid tracking down all of the Qing becoming China events.

There are just so many of them, dammit!

You have no choice... Just search for CHI events that change flagname to "Manchus".

There is still a potential problem with Taiwan since starting religion of the island, even if uncolonized, is confucian, not pagan...

OK, how then can I check to see it's not a TP? Cause I'm out of ideas.

Me too...

Is it a good idea to have Taiwan pagan from start only for gameplay purpose?

Should natives be aggressive enough to be able to wipe out a colony?

If we can answer yes to the first question and no to the second, we have the solution. Otherwise, we have a real problem since things could go really wrong in some games.

I think that the aborigines were pagan but that the Chinese who fled to the island were Confucian. But I also think that there were a lot more aborigines than ethnic Chinese so we can safely ignore the latter. So pagan from the start.

The Dutch had real problems subduing the natives. It took them about 10 years or more to get them to bow to Dutch authority. Why would it be a problem if they wiped out a colony or two? I'll grant that the Dutch are on a pretty short lease to match their historical performance, but other than that I don't see any downside.

The problem is religion will not be pagan anymore if a colony was established but destroyed...

OK, then let's make the settings the most difficult we can where the pagan natives won't rise up and destroy the colony.

Deleted event for Shi Lang.

What about the corresponding leader (032326): included as dormant?

About post #401 and MCH_221009, better add following condition in trigger:

Code:

		NOT = {
			leader = 032327 #Kiangxi (CHI)
		}

Just for safety and cross reference.

Why should we force this annexation?

Move to Taiwan can only happen if U14 owns three provinces (including Taiwan). It means two wars will be necessary, at most, if capital is located in Taiwan. Does it make sense to see U14 disappearing faster than with normal war rules of the engine?

Anyway, we can't test durations.

Notes: as a rule, no double quote in descriptions but doubled single quote.

Avoid using ? or ! at the end of eventnames.
=> EVENTNAME317019;Refuge in Taiwan;;;;;;;;;;

Avoid using Majesty (or equivalent expressions) when talking to the player in descriptions. The player is not the ruler of the country.
=> EVENTHIST317019;The usurping Qing begin to surround us, Majesty. Shall we seek a place of safety in Taiwan?;;;;;;;;;;

There is no problem with "Shall we seek a place of safety in Taiwan?" since question is for the country in general (because of the use of "we") and not the ruler in particular.

I think so; with a command to woken up added to the various Manchu = China events as per Alt-Iberia. I'll write them up tomorrow as this 3-headed monster of U14, CHI and MCH is making my head hurt. I think I know why nobody wanted to tackle this in any detail before

Historically mainland U14 was conquered in 1662; I suspect that it lasts longer in most games. I worry about Taiwan being conquered and then not annexed by the AI because there wasn't any siege of Taiwan; it simply surrendered when Shi Lang defeated its fleet. The regime in Taiwan had very little legitimacy and only existed because of Coxinga, which is, I imagine, why it didn't fight Shi Lang in Taiwan proper. So this seems to me to be best represented with an inheritance command if China ever gains control over Taiwan if the capital is present and is small.

In this case, write an event for CHI annexing U14 if Taiwan controlled by CHI and event U14_317019 fired before. Of course, CHI event will have to be slept if U14 decided to not move capital to Taiwan.

A U14 player will never face this event or situation is very bad...

Very true, especially since the AI does amphibious invasions so well :rofl: Hainan already helps U14 against the AI immensely, Taiwan would just make things worse without an inheritance event representing the collapse.

I do prefer:
EVENTNAME317019;Refuge in Taiwan;;;;;;;;;;

In U14_317019, action_b seems not well balanced enough. It is better to choose it than action_a. Some bad effects for action_b are welcome (desertion?).

For CHI_147134, missing condition:

Code:

		owned = { province = 689 data = U14 } #Taiwan

EVENTHIST147134;The defeat of itshis fleet at the Battle of Penghu by Shi Lang caused Koxinga's grandson, leader of the remnant Ming dynasty forces in Taiwan, to offer his surrender.;;;;;;;;;;

EVENTHIST147063;The Emperor Kiangxi commented when his admiral Shi Lang received the surrender of Taiwan in 1683 that ''Taiwan is no bigger than a ball of mud. We gain nothing by possessing it, and it would be no loss if we did not acquire it.'' He wished to remove the Chinese settlers and abandon Taiwan because of the deep-seated traditional idea that China was bounded by the seas. But Shi Lang argued forcefully for Taiwan's inclusion in the Qing empire: The island could not be left to its own devices because it would be used by pirates or foreign powers, who were ''drooling'' over it. It was, moreover, a bounteous place: ''Fish and salt spout forth from the sea;, the mountains are filled with dense forests of tall trees and thick bamboo;, there are sulfur, rattan, sugarcane, deerskins, and all that is needed for daily living. Nothing is lacking. . . .... This is truly a bountifully fertile piece of land and a strategic territory.'' Thanks to Shi Lang's arguments, the eEmperor decided to make Taiwan a prefecture attached to Fujian Province. For all that Taiwan was neglected by the Qing the settlers and natives were discontented. There were more than a hundred rebellions during the Qing Dynasty. The frequency of rebellions, riots, and civil strife in Qing Dynasty Taiwan is evoked by the common saying ''every three years an uprising;, every five years a rebellion''.;;;;;;;;;;

I don't find leader 032325 for China. Did I miss something? If not, better renumber 032328 to 032325 in order to avoid a hole.

Oh, that's not missing at all. It's intended to prevent situations where Taiwan is the only remaining province and has been conquered by China and the AI wants to peace out without FA'ing U14.

The semicolon is used to connect two sentence fragments and doesn't need a comma. Plus I don't edit direct quotes for punctuation.

I don't understand, this event can only happen if U14 capital is in Taiwan. Without this condition, event could then fire even when U14 doesn't exist and if China controls the province. This is a bug.

Semicolons are forbidden in descriptions. They mark the end of the string in text.csv.

Then adding a exists = U14 trigger will fix that bug, right?

OK, I'll try to remember next time.
