Anyone Able to get Alexander Bloodline with Capital on Arabian Peninsula?(Excluding Jerusalem)

[junassa]

So I'm about to go through I think my 6th emperor and still no bloodline. On a previous save I got it on like the 3rd (maybe 2nd, I don't remember), but the capital was in Iberia (Valencia I think). My current capital is in Aden.

So has anyone (pre or post nerf) been able to get the event to fire while having a capital on the peninsula?

Also is it possible to see if the game recognizes that I have the potential to get the event, but it's just not firing? No ironman on this save.

Got one with my capital in Aden, in the duchy of Taizz, kingdom of Yemen.

I did not even realize there is a geographical spot you need to be in to get the event. Is there?

Yeah you have to be in Europe, Asia Minor, Arabia, and some others.

Did you have the duchy/kindgom titles as well? I just kept Aden for the trade post and gave the kingdom to a relative. I didn't see anything in the code that you needed those titles but I think I had the duchy of Valencia when I did get it in another save.

Yeah, if you're around India the Blood of Alexander becomes the Blood of Ashoka instead.

can you get both If you move your capital to India?

Honestly don't know. I would imagine that's the kind of thing that should be mutually exclusive, but by the same token that's the kind of thing I could see Paradox overlooking.

I drifted the duchy into Persia before I became emperor, my typical desmense is the entirety of Taizz (capital Aden,) Socotra, Gilan, and Tabaristan. I give Bayda away to my first MR, for a total of 11 desmense, four silk road trade posts, and only 2 provinces where no silk road trade passes.

So I finally got on my 7th or so emperor. She was unique in the sense that she was kin but her father was a consort, so she didn't have any bloodlines. I got one of the builder bloodlines with her then a few years later the Alexander event popped.

I might abandon this save because I didn't think through the whole matrilineal bloodline thing. Also I wanted to "win" by religious conversion and I didn't get as many conversions as I'd hoped.

So I started a new game; it's like 960 or so and my emperor has had 15+k prestige for over 40 years and still no event.
