AoN: Korea & Japan

[Languish]

en route... feel free to assist.

 

[Jayavarman]

What kind of assistance?

 

[Languish]

Well i dont have a problem with providing the events but their effects could be better. I tend to be very basic with them (i.e. stability hits, etc, nothing snazzy).

Have i also been too lenient or too heavy handed in some events. Like i said feel free to butt in and go "hey...!" anytime.

 

[Zaan]

Great work, but don't use the " sings in the descriptions of events or actions because the descripiton will end on the second " used.

#Agrarian Revolts
event = {
id = ????
random = no
country = KOR
name = "Agrarian Revolts"
desc = "There developed a great outflow of grain which eventually devastated the life of the Korean peasants. In 1889 and 1891, when the farmers of Hamgyong-do and Hwanghae-do provinces suffered crop failures, the Japanese government exacted exorbitant indemnities for losses allegedly suffered by Japanese merchants. Consequently, most farmers were impoverished, and their indignation was directed at Korea's ruling class responsible for their plight. The only recourse was to revolt, and during the period of 1884-1894, farmers struggles broke out repeatedly in all provinces."

}

These "revolts" as you can see lasted over the course of ten years and i remained historically weary of making it to strong. Revolt risk of 2 with a tiny stab hit should stimulate a few locals revolts without screwing up.

Have been made. They might be altered of course.

Excellent work on Korea BTW

 

[Languish]

Korea must link into those events as korea was pivotal in both conflicts with china and russia. Where is this thread so i can offer the recommended altercations/triggers?

oh and thanks

#Tonghak Rebellion
event = {

country = KOR
name = "Tonghak Rebellion"
desc = "The revolt of 1894-95, known as the Tonghak Rebellion, had international repercussions. Like the Taiping rebels in China thirty years earlier, the Tonghak participants were fired by religious fervor as well as by indignation about the corrupt and oppressive government. If we call upon China to assist us in controlling this rebellion we may also risk unwanted Japanese participation in our internal affairs."
style = 1

Historically:

"The Korean court apparently felt unable to cope with the rebels and invited China to send troops to quell the rebellion. This move gave Japan a pretext to dispatch troops to Korea. The two countries soon engaged in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-95), which accelerated the demise of the Qing Dynasty in China."

The Choices are fairly straightforward, but important. A strong player may feel he can control the situation, although i will script the revolt risk and associated stability hits to be a real nightmare. It is HIGHLY likely being forced to call upon the chinese should be the desired choice thus precipitating the Sino-Japanese war.

 

[Languish]

In this case make the sino-japanese event triggerable by my event's decision to request Chinese assistance. It was this single choice by the weak-minded min that lead to conflicts of interests in the korean peninsula.

Rather than make that event an always occur, simply remove the dates and await my trigger if it comes.

I would also suggest re-writting the first event, as i have already written an historically accurate "korean problem" event for nippon.

How does this sound?

My idea, and change 16894 for my event.

Japanese leaders are proposing that 30 regiments should be sent to occupy the whole of the peninsula. Korea's natural resources and abundant rice production are important factors in Japan's aggressive designs. In pursuit of their objective, the Japanese have fabricated a number of incidents. They have followed this up by sending their warships to raid points on Korea's coast, Pusan and Kanghwado island, creating an atmosphere just short of actual war."

action_a ={#Gain a cb on korea and a stability bonus.

Although change this for CB shields instead as the 24 month/2 year Casus Belli is obviously not long enough... or simply extend it indefinitely without actually doing an addcore command (until the sino-jap war when korea was beginning to be considered a mere colony).

 

[Languish]

I cannot stress this enough. The Sino-japanese probably would have occured sometime soon for some reason anyhow but historically this only occured because the tonghak rebels alarmed the korean gov't so much that they called on chinese assistance. This was followed by Japanese "intervention" although clashes ultimately led to the said war.

Nuff said... tonghak + call to china = sino-jap war. Ok!

 

[Languish]

The build up to the sino-russian war is complicated but relevant to all parties. Forgive me if i look at it from a korean-centric POV but it is of course once again where it started (with a manchurian twist).

The assassination of queen min will trigger two distinct events. One is a reaction from the world leading superpowers at that time who felt that japanese checks against russia were far more important than korean fair treatment, and reform and rebellion in korea.

[unmerged(4953)]

Are you going to create the Meiji Restoration even ?
Like "Option A: Restore the Emperor"
"Option B: The Shogunate Survives!"
Also industrilization and modernization events for Japan.

 

[unmerged(4953)]

By the way.
Who will be the leader of Japan ?
The Emperor ? They realy didnt hold much real power in Japan after the Meiji restoration. Whilest Meiji sat on the throne the country was not controled by him.

Meiji is on the throne, but we can create events to reflect the abilities of the de facto rulers. Just give me some info or write the events.

If you support the shogunate, and you loose control over the country due to the uprisings, the Meiji Restoration will be forced upon you in another event.

If you want more info or want to change anything, I can post the whole list.

Please criticize the events

Languish, when you're ready with all events, I'll create a file for it and edit the Japanese events after your suggestions.
