agree for all of the above

now, the fief of MLO event, WHy do you have the AND trigger for SPA and HAB as only 1 can be emperor at any one time or are you worried that the emperor would change after 1 event has fired?

All i know is that it rarely fires and MLO is usually around in the late 1600's

- i am only asking about the second AND portion of the trigger
The trigger in MLO event checks if either SPA or HAB are emperors. I think it is better than having a trigger which check one country being elected emperor only. That is the reason of two events SPA and HAB named Lapsed fief of Milan, and two events also for Imperial Election and the coronation of Charles. These events (well one of them) are useful for the sequence.

About Milan still existant in 1600s well, I was asked not to be too deterministic trying to have Spain inheriting Milan without being emperor (she or Austria) at least in 1535. If not I have considered the claims of the French Orléans (Francis I and his sons) which were ignored by Charles during his rule both in 1535 and in 1547.

i have no problem with the too deterministic part , but I have never had any other nation own MLO in this latest version in any game.
currently MLO at 1600 in my game own all switzeland, all savoy, tirol, TOS and GEN , corsica and siena
as i say , thats ok, but not every game

Do you mean than a bigger Milan should release neighbouring countries and give provinces back to their legitimate owners? Probably a human playing Milan wouldn't agree even if action B should face with it as it means the city of Milan will be ruling on her own territory, the Comune of Milan.
But a dedicated ai event may be a good solution and named:

THE VASSAL+ALLIANCE COMMAND BUGFIX THREAD

As already reported in post 667 of Germany and Austria thread I would like to start a new thread in order to check for most of events dealing with vassal+alliance commands.

The problem is that the "alliance command line" doesn't seem to work as intended, ie the country receiving the event can only vassalize the targeted country but not have her as ally in the same event, even if the liege is leader of alliance or has no allies at all!

We need a further event to deal with this!

Here I am starting with events I did or knew of and important for historical alliances or kingdoms with same rulers such as Spain and Austria in XVIth century or England and Scotland in XVIIth century and so on...



Here is the case of Aragon and Naples with the same ruling house (Trastamara):

Pope Eugenius refused to invest Alfons as King of Naples and threatened to declare him in unlawful possession of Naples, Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia. Alfons threatened back with his support for an anti-Pope, Felix V, chosen at the Council of Basel, and Eugenius accepted to invest him in exchange for his support as the genuine Pope and help against the Turks that never materialized. Ferrante was named Prince of Calabria, and the Neapolitans were pleased that their Kingdom was not going to be incorporated to Aragon. Alfons, who as a Castilian had always felt a foreigner in Barcelona, never returned to Aragon, and his court in Naples was filled with the splendor of the Renaissance.

#-#Although the Treaty of Lodi stipulated in 1454 guaranteed a certain balance of powers in Italy, it couldn't prevent Alfonso I King of Naples from pursuing his old interests on Genoese territories, notably Corsica, and West Mediterranean sea trade routes. Since the confederates of Lega Italica, amongst them Milan, wouldn't risk to break that fragile alliance, and some Genoese families, Adorno and Fieschi amongst them, had clearly in mind to support the Aragonese, King Alfonso represented a real threat for Genoa and the Fregoso family. In 1458, facing a new Aragonese aggression Genoa could only find help in France as it frequently occurred in the past. Charles VII, King of France, accepted the Genoese allegiance and sent Jean d'Anjou, Duke of Calabria and son of René d'Anjou to rule over Genoa. As soon as he established himself in the city as Governor, with the support of the Genoese fleet he arranged a military expedition to be lead against Naples with the aim of getting the crown, which his father René failed to succeed in. But this time the political situation in Naples played in his favour: the local barons were opposing Ferdinando, Alfonso's natural son, not recognising him as the new King of Naples. For Jean d'Anjou, it was an invite to become entangled in there...

to be changed as follows:

#-#Although several peace treaties were stipulated as to guarantee a certain balance of powers in Italy, they couldn't prevent Alfonso I King of Naples from pursuing his old interests on Genoese territories, notably Corsica, and West Mediterranean sea trade routes. Since the confederates of Lega Italica, amongst them Milan, wouldn't risk to break that fragile alliance, and some Genoese families, Adorno and Fieschi amongst them, had clearly in mind to support the Aragonese, King Alfonso represented a real threat for Genoa and the Fregoso family. In 1458, facing a new Aragonese aggression Genoa could only find help in France as it frequently occurred in the past. Charles VII, King of France, accepted the Genoese allegiance and sent Jean d'Anjou, Duke of Calabria and son of René d'Anjou to rule over Genoa. As soon as he established himself in the city as Governor, with the support of the Genoese fleet he arranged a military expedition to be led against Naples with the aim of getting the crown, which his father René failed to succeed in. But this time the political situation in Naples played in his favour: the local barons were opposing Ferdinando, Alfonso's natural son, not recognising him as the new King of Naples.

here is the eventshist7118 to be used by the new event 262034 instead of current 262008 (the description in 262008 should be changed with eventhist174028:

#-#In 1458, in accordance with his father's will, Ferdinando succeeded Alfonso I on the throne of Naples. Ferdinando I, also called Don Ferrante, was the natural son of Alfonso V of Aragon and I of Sicily and Naples. In order to arrange a good future to his bastard son, King Alfonso had him married in 1444 to Isabella of Chiaramonte, a feudal heiress of remarkable feudal possessions in Southern Italy and granddaughter of Maria d'Enghien, queen consort of Ladislao, the last Angevin King of Naples. But after Alfonso died Pope Calixtus III didn't legitimate Ferdinando as new King of Naples, he declared instead that the line of Aragon was extinct and that the kingdom was to be considered a fief of the church. Although the Pope died before he could make good his claim and the new Pope Pius II on the contrary recognized Ferdinando, Jean d'Anjou, Duke of Lorraine and René's son, also known as 'Duke of Calabria', profiting by the discontent of the pro-Angevin Neapolitan barons, decided to attempt to regain the throne of his ancestors and invaded Naples. The war started well for the Anjou with the easy occupation of Apulia and the temporary control of Naples after the victorious battle of Sarno in 1460. Ferdinand was so severely defeated that his kingdom seemed to be completely lost in Angevin hands, but with the military help of Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, through his brother Alessandro and of the Albanian leader Gjergj Kastrioti, known as 'Skanderbeg', who came to the aid of the prince whose father had aided him, he triumphed over his enemies in the battle of Troja in 1462. By 1464 Ferdinando could re-establish his authority in the kingdom, Jean d'Anjou left Southern Italy while the barons agreed to recognize the Aragonese as their King.

#-#The French governors were imposing on the Republic so harsh tributes for continuing the war against Naples that they provoked big resentment in the Genoese population as much as to refuse a French suzerainty. Since the military expedition led by Jean d'Anjou to conquer the Kingdom of Naples failed and the rebelling Neapolitan barons eventually agreed to recognize Ferdinando as their King, Louis XI of France decide to abandon his plan to control the Genoese Republic granting his friend and ally Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, ownership's rights to the city of Genoa. Sforza soon sent an army led by Giacomo Vimercate to submit the city. As soon as Genoa fell under the Milanese troops and the despotic doge Paolo Fregoso fled with his fleet away, a delegation of the citizenship of Genoa went to Milan to swear allegiance to the new ruler.



and to lower down a bit the relations between Genoa and Milan (avoiding diploannexations):

historically the assassination of Galeazzo Maria was used as attempt for Genoa to reject the Milanese suzerainty which only Simonetta was able to appease.

#-#Duke Galeazzo Maria was assassinated in the Church of San, Stefano in 1476, leaving a young son, Gian Galeazzo, then about eight, years old. The government was carried on by his mother, Bona of Savoy, in the name of the infant and in her own. But dissensions soon arose, between the regent and her brothers-in-law. In the first encounter Bona, and her chief counsellor, Cicco Simonetta, were victorious, and the, brothers of Galeazzo Maria were obliged to leave the city. But before, long Ludovico, the ablest of the sons of Francesco Sforza procured his, own readmission. The fall and execution of Simonetta followed, and from, 1479 the real government of Milan lay in the hands of Ludovico, whose, power was further secured in 1480, when he seized the person of the, young duke and the duchess was obliged to leave Milan. Henceforward the, rule of Ludovico was not seriously challenged. The young duke was a, prisoner, and Ludovico managed everything in his name.

After 2 years and half of life, isolated and surrounded by the unfaithful Sforza, who in the meanwhile and with the support of Venice turned against the city of Milan with the aim to claim the ducal throne, the Republic ceased to exist: brought to severe famine the population of Milan was forced to surrender to the condottiero and accept him as their new Duke.

#-#As soon as Sforza proclaimed himself successor of Visconti to the throne of Milan and the Holy Roman Emperor didn't acknowledge him the ducal investiture, the war of succession inevitably began. All legitimated or self-proclaimed claimants of the Milanese throne, took arms against him. Charles of Orléans and Louis of Savoy because of their family ties with the House of Visconti, Alfons of Aragon because of an alleged secret agreement with the last Visconti Duke which would have entitled him to the duchy of Milan. Encouraged by that and as to continued her war of conquest Venice tried to renew her old alliance with Florence. But Florence was now ruled by Cosimo de Medici, a Sforza's friend, who instead resolved to support the condottiero in order to check Venice and her expansionist policy in Terraferma. The traditionally good relations Florence held with France allowed Sforza to receive Charles VII's military support in his fight against their common enemy Alfons of Aragon who was ruling over Naples at the expenses of Angevin claims. Sforza's good relations with the French King, and consequently with the Houses of Orléans and Anjou, induced the duke of Savoy to make peace with the condottiero and to acknowledge him as the new master of Milan. Only Venice and Naples persevered in their fight against Sforza.


The trigger should check if Tuscany and France exist for consistency in the sequence.


and that should be my last change...
 
Here is the event with which France presses claims to Naples:

}

I would add a couple of breakvassals, firstly to France, as to be sure of the sequence working as intended. If action A will be taken Naples will break any possible vassalage to Milan or Papal States (with which she is married by event) and with France threatening her independence. As a result Spain or Aragon will come to rescue them by vassalizing NAP by event:

I would also like to remove additional ships to Naples as to avoid a further naval block in case of invasion fro the South and to have troops appearing in Naples only:

I think you left out the alliance between VEN-PAP fo this event, due to the fact that TOS was making inroads into PAP lands

by the way, there is no participation of VEN with PAP in any of the italian war series.
I basically think that PAP and VEN had a mutual goal from 1440 to the 1482 Ferrara war

The sources I have got about the Popes just report that Nicolaus V tried to mediate between Milan and Venice as soon as he was informed that Constantinople fell and in order to arrange for a crusade against the Turks. Iirc the Popes interferred in other states during the succession of Naples and the Pazzi conspiracy, this one leading the Pope to join Naples until Ferrara war and the conspiracy of the barons.

Afaik the Popes were allied to Venice since 1425 in their fights against Visconti.

#-#The spread of Calvinism led the King of France to sign the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis in 1559, ending the long struggle between France and Spain. After decades of reckless invasions, Henri II agreed to respect Habsburg primacy in Italy and control over Flanders and Franche-Comté. King Felipe II of Spain, in return, promised that Spain would desist in its attempts to weaken the Valois kings. After signing the treaty, Henri II and Felipe II could now turn their attention to combating Protestantism. In execution of the peace treaty the House of Savoy was granted its ancestral territories in order to form a buffer state between France and Spanish controlled Italy.

EVENTNAME285253;Effects of the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis in Italy;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST285253;With that treaty King Felipe II confirmed the independence of Papal States and of the Republic of Genoa but assigned the administration of the Sienese territory to Cosimo I de' Medici Grand DUke of Tuscany, except for the Sienese coastal cities which constituted the State of Presidi, a strategic territory under direct Spanish military administration.;;;;;;;;;;



Don't know if this can be viewed as too much deterministic but I have seen events such as the treaty of Alcacovas and the events concerning the Burgundian inheritance and the HYW which have province exchanges, any ideas?
Garbon said:
The only thing I can think of to throw into such a discussion is that both of those mentioned events occur within the first century of the game.
Totally forgot about that. :eek:o

I can't see how this event not being as early in the game as Arras or Alcacovas could make it unjustified.

I think it is a good idea to use such major treaties to correct the AI's erratic behaviour as long as, 1°) there is a historical justification for it, 2°) the player still gets a choice to surrender the provinces or not. Also we already have such "reshaping" events even later in the game.


Yet I have a few questions and suggestions:

_ Is there any particular reason why Friesen and Gelre are treated differently?

_ FRA should not give Corsica to SPA as there is a specific event for FRA to surrender it to GEN (FRA_170131, Cateau-Cambrésis and Corsica).

_ SPA_285253: shouldn't the trigger be more something like this:
Code:
trigger = {
	OR = {
		AND = {
			owned = { province = 400 data = -1 } #Siena
			exists = TOS
		}
		AND = {
			owned = { province = 392 data = -1 } #Marche
			exists = PAP
		}
		AND = {
			owned = { province = 398 data = -1 } #Corsica
			exists = GEN
		}
	}
}

i agree, for FRI it should be independence for FRI and secede GEL to SPA in 1559

1- Well Friesen is ceded from France to Spain if her province is owned by France, Spain will release it in her event. Ok for Geldre, I will amend the events and have FRA cede the province to SPA, if owned.
As further question: do we prefer FRI being vassal of Spain or of France in case of her being released?
2- In this case FRA_170131 should check if both FRA and SPA events about the treaty of cateau cambrésis fired and GEN exists.
3- that trigger is better of course, I will amend the correspondent event.

My book on frisia has that it had a "agreement" (vassal) with SPA after the abdication of Charles V, NO Spa troops ever held Frisian lands.
In 1575 large parts of FRI became OLD by agreement and then..........from net

Friesland joined (1579) in the Union of Utrecht against Spanish domination, but it continued to appoint its own stadtholders until 1748, when Prince William IV of Orange became the sole and hereditary stadtholder of all the United Provinces of the Netherlands.


We cannot have FRI as a vassal of netherlands (game problems) until 1748, but I think that with the Union in 1579, is the first time, they (FRI) can be annexed by Netherlands

I'll let other more knowledgeable people answer this one.

You're right here, I will post this in the bug list. Here it is.
I don't think that SPA_285112 is required in the trigger because it is triggered by FRA_12037 A.

3- that trigger is better of course, I will amend the correspondent event.
Fine, I post a link to your original post so that other interested people may follow the discussion better, since it is now on the previous page, which is a very long page. :)

I understand that point, what I am asking is in case of FRI not existing, should she be released from France or from Spain (the one who release her will be her liege too...)? As we have now both events about the C-C FRI is both released from France and from Spain.

released from SPA only
 
Bordic, now that you seem to have reached an agreement with Toio about Gelre and Frisia and that I have fixed my event about Cateau-Cambrésis and Corsica, how about editing your post #337 to remove this line:
Code:
command = { type = secedeprovince which = SPA value = 398 } #Corsica
from FRA_12037 A (and by the way to fix the colors ;) ), so that we can submit it.

Done. I have also added the original trigger to FRA_12037 for better understanding of the event.

EDIT: submitted the reworked sequence of C-C treaty

I suggest an event for Naples to perceive the coming French-Spanish invasion of 1501:

Code:
#(1500-1505) Naples alone against all
#by Bordic
event = {
	id = 239034 
	trigger = {
		event = 170164  #FRA: A new military expedition to Naples
		OR = {
			monarch = 096006 #Federico I
			monarch = 096007 #Ferdinando III *
		}
		OR = {
			war = { country = FRA country = NAP }
			war = { country = SPA country = NAP }
			war = { country = ARG country = NAP }
		}
	}
	random = no
	country = NAP
	name = "EVENTNAME239034" #Naples alone against all
	desc = "EVENTHIST239034"
	#-#

	date = { day = 11 month = November year = 1500 }
	offset = 50
	deathdate = { day = 11 month = November year = 1505 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ALAS" 
		command = { type = stability value = -3 }
		command = { type = relation which = FRA value = -200 }
		command = { type = relation which = SPA value = -200 }
		command = { type = relation which = ARG value = -200 }
		command = { type = desertion which = 394 value = 10000 } #Spain already patrolling Apulean strongholds
		command = { type = galleys which = 394 value = -10 } #Apulia
	}

}
EVENTNAME239034;Naples alone against all;;;;;;;;;;
EVENTHIST239034;On 11 November 1500, in Granada, Louis XII of France and Ferdinand II of Aragon secretly stipulated a treaty by which they agreed on an equal partition of the Neapolitan territories: the northern part of the Kingdom including Terra del Lavoro and Abruzzi was to be given to France whilst the southern part of the Kingdom including Calabria and Apulia was to be given to Aragon/Spain. King Federico still strongly believed in the help of his cousin Ferdinand of Aragon against any French aggression to his realm as much as to let Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba take some strongholds in Calabria. Even if he perceived the coming danger through a bull from Pope Alexander VI depriving him of his throne and confirming the partition of his kingdom, King Federico was unable to oppose much resistance...;;;;;;;;;;


the idea is that NAP event should check if FRA_170164 (which is triggered by SPA_285103 A or ARG_111016 A) has fired, that is SPA or ARG have DOWed Naples and FRA is going to DOW Naples too. If for any reason NAP isn't at war with them (ie war command doesn't work as requested) the event won't simply work as it becomes unnecessary. Of course the event is to weaken NAP from a Spanish invasion from the south (Sicily) both by land or by sea.
