Converting to Aristocrats?

[Sir Humphrey]

Can this be done? I might have missed it in game, and if so, how would one mod the game so that other pops could be converted to aristocrats?

I don't think this could be modded very well, because you would need a button, to convert certain pops to aristocrats. Like you have buttons for all other convertions. This would need a change in Victoria executable file.

There is of course possibility to create events, which could turn part of your pops to arisctocrats, but it is not possible to choose which individual pops to convert and which not.

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Ahwell.

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Would it be possible to stipulate in the event what culture the (say British) promotion can take place as?

There is a way to convert pops to aristocrats, but it's gamey (what one considers cheating, of course, is something else entirely).

Officer pops, when taken over, are converted to aristocrats. I cannot recall if this can be done by a mere land trade, but I know it's what occurs after a war.

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Nah, doesn't seem to work with a land trade. I'll try and work on an event.

You could probably set it to remove a certain number of, say, British officers, and add an equal number of British aristocrats.

your event

here, is this a good one?

event = {
id = 666000
random = no
country = ENG
name = "Officers to Aristocrats"
desc = "Some of your officers have been given lands and titles of nobility as a reward for recent military prowess."
picture = army_leadership
date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1836 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1920 }
action_a = {
Name = "We will reward them for their bravery and service! "
command = { type = convert_pop_type which = officers value = aristocrats where = 0 when = 10 }
command = { type = pop_cash which = aristocrats value = 1000 where = 0 }
}
}

i figured 10% of officers to aristocrats is a nice amount, and also i gave them some cash to start out with.
