American Bitter Peace?

[unmerged(19063)]

Some of y'all might remember that i asked once about making a "Vichy" America. Well, I've done some pondering on the subject, and here's what I would like:

1. How would I edit/make an event that fires when certain US provinces west of the Mississippi River, including some islands, is occupied?

2. I want the US gov't to stay the same, but take a huge dissent hit.

3. I want all the west-of-the-MS-River territories to be annexed. The Key points that should be held are:

Wake Island
Guam
Honolulu
Los Angeles
San Fransisco
Seattle
St Louis
Houston
Denver
Chicago (given back to USA when event fires and I accept)

And, could y'all be specific in your instructions? This is about the first time I've ever modded like this, actually going into the game files and such.

This event is for Japan, right? I'd like to see one for Germany to.

 

[Jace]

I think if Germany beats UK,France and the USSR the the US should be given the choich to fight on or make peace

Hi...

I will write the event chain you need here, remember to change the "XXXX's" to Real event and Province ID's... : (Hope it helps)

##########################################

action_a = {

}
action_b = {

Thanks DK_FOGGY, that's just what I need.

Now, for the [id=XXXX] parts, are there any vacant numbers that I should put in there?

I suppose this could be for Japan, but I was thinking more along the lines of the Soviet Union. I guess I'll just change the JAP to SOV.

Also, on the subject of a German version of this, that seems more like an east coast invasion, with every thing up to the Mississippi held by the Germans....hm....I might have to put that in, too. I'll see if I can do that on my own.

Thanks again!

 

[unmerged(17727)]

No problem....

Thought you wanted Japan to hold the provinces, not Soviet but yeah, change Jap to SOV...

Can't remeber which event ID's that aren't used...
And the province ID's you can find on the HoI atlas...

Cheers

Not to interject too much reality into this debate, but a much more reasonable event would be have as triggers:

All US VP islands occupied
Phillipines conquered
Successful occupation of ANY west coast US province

The resulting event should cause peace between US / Japan, return west coast to US and cede all the rest of the pacific possessions to Japan - include the alaskan islands or not as you wish.

If you want to write it for the Sovs - I'd suggest one where they get the Pacific Islands+Alaska and US becomes a Socialist/Stalinist puppet. Triggers would be XX number of VP total + Washington, LA, New York?


The German one should be even simpler, just have a trigger for Britain and France both being out of the war = US sues for peace. Without staging areas in Europe we would NEVER have continued.

If you want ones for a German invasion, I'd say make it similar to the Soviet one - tons of VP+3/4 key cities and the result being Facist Puppet.

I agree with Graycloak for the most part, except Japan should also get a bunch of resources. I think that would be the easiest way to simulate the fact Japan would demand the opening back up of trade relations between the two countries. Really all Japan wanted was those islands and trade. Germany wanted nothing from us, and as for the Soviets I say the only way that was possible was if they took over the United States, but by the time you had done that why not just use the puppet thing?

 

[Alexandru H.]

All US VP islands occupied
Phillipines conquered
Successful occupation of ANY west coast US province

Too easy to exploit?

 

[unmerged(8390)]

I don't think its exploitable at all vs a Human player - and vs AI it doesn't matter. As Japan vs an AI american you can conquer them easily, so why bother with an "exploit" to get a bitter peace event?

If you wanted to make it a little harder you could make it "all US islands occupied" instead of just the VP ones - but I don't think it matters much really.

I think that D.C. should have to be taken before that event fires.
