I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I can't find it anywhere. I scripted a quick and dirty pair of events to simulate the Abdication. Haven't had a lot of time to test them yet...
**************************************************
###############################################################
# Abdication of Edward VIII
###############################################################
event = {
id = 3407
random = no
country = ENG
trigger = {
NOT = { event = 3408 }
minister = 1023
}
name = "The Abdication of Edward VIII"
desc = "Edward VIII, a bachelor, met and fell in love with one Mrs. Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. Against the advice of his Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, Edward VIII elected to abdicate the throne to marry the woman he loved."
style = 0
date = { day = 11 month = december year = 1936 }
action_a = {
name = "Ascendancy of George VI"
command = { type = headofstate which = 1043 } #George VI
command = { type = dissent value = 2 }
}
}
###############################################################
# Edward VIII Stays on the Throne (alternative outcome)
###############################################################
event = {
id = 3408
random = no
country = ENG
trigger = {
random = 10
}
name = "Edward VIII Remains on the Throne"
desc = "Edward VIII, a bachelor, met and fell in love with one Mrs. Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. However, he took the advice of his Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, and kept his love a secret. He reluctantly held onto the throne, and continued his policy of rapprochement with the fascists."
style = 0
date = { day = 10 month = december year = 1936 }
action_a = {
name = "The country is spared embarrassment."
command = { type = alignment which = fascist value = 25 }
command = { type = warentry value = -5 }
}
}

I apologize if anyone's mentioned this before, and I realize it doesn't do much for gameplay, but I think it's a needed addition, for flavor if nothing else. Of course, the second event could just be deleted if it's not liked.
