cot needed in Thrace

[CSARebel]

I am playing as Byzantium and would like to edit my saved game so I can have a COT in Thrace. Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Easy way: hit F12 and type: event 3353. That gives you the turkish event that gives the CoT.

Slightly less easy way (w/o any side effects): open up the save game file, do a search for "COT" and paste the following in that area: cot = { location = 357 }.

Or play AGCEEP - there you can EARN yourself a cot as Byzantium

Or play MyMap-AGCEEP there Byzantium starts out with a COT.

All my byz games, vannila or AGCCEEP have failed bad, but I reckon in prety much all of them I ended up with a CoT in thrace just for normal market behaviour.

If you do want to edit it then find the part in the save that looks like this (search for cot)

cot = { 
    location = 465 
    failure = 0.000 
    merchant = { tag = POR level = 0.000 value = 0.000 } 
    merchant = { tag = TUR level = 0.000 value = 0.000 } 
    merchant = { tag = POL level = 1.000 value = 1.304 } 
    merchant = { tag = KNI level = 2.000 value = 4.269 } 
    merchant = { tag = HEL level = 0.000 value = 0.000 } 
    merchant = { tag = HUN level = 0.000 value = 0.000 } 
    merchant = { 
        tag = KAR 
        level = 0.000 
        value = 0.000 
        extra = { 
            country = KAR 
            date = { year = 1432 month = april day = 1 } 
            location = 465
            success = yes 
            } 
        } 
    }

Then change the 465 (Kerch) so it is 357 (Thrace)

cot = { 
[I][B]    location = 465 [/B][/I]
    failure = 0.000 
    merchant = { tag = POR level = 0.000 value = 0.000 } 
    merchant = { tag = TUR level = 0.000 value = 0.000 } 
    merchant = { tag = POL level = 1.000 value = 1.304 } 
    merchant = { tag = KNI level = 2.000 value = 4.269 } 
    merchant = { tag = HEL level = 0.000 value = 0.000 } 
    merchant = { tag = HUN level = 0.000 value = 0.000 } 
    merchant = { 
        tag = KAR 
        level = 0.000 
        value = 0.000 
        extra = { 
            country = KAR 
            date = { year = 1432 month = april day = 1 } 
         [I]   [B]location = 465 [/B][/I]
            success = yes 
            } 
        } 
    }

The changes are highlighted

Then change the 465 (Kerch) so it is 357 (Thrace)

Should note here that there's no CoT in Kerch in the regular Grand Campaign.

Then, simply copy & paste from another CoT.

This is the OE event.

#The Economic Reforms of Mehmed II#
event = {
	id = 3352
	trigger ={
		event = 3353
    }
	random = no
	country = TUR
	name = "EVENTNAME3352"
	desc = "EVENTHIST3352"
	style = 1
	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1419 }
	offset = 2000
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1491 }
	
	action_a ={ # End trade agreements with Venice and Genoa.
		name = "ACTIONNAME3352A"
		command = { type = cot which = 357 }
		command = { type = relation which = VEN value = -150 }
		command = { type = relation which = GEN value = -100 }
		command = { type = domestic which = MERCANTILISM value = 2 }
		command = { type = merchants value = 6 }
		command = { type = loansize which = 300 }
	}
	action_b ={ # Maintain agreements with Venice and Genoa.
		name = "ACTIONNAME3352B"
		command = { type = treasury value = 800 }
		command = { type = domestic which = MERCANTILISM value = -2 }
		command = { type = relation which = VEN value = 100 }
		command = { type = relation which = GEN value = 50 }
		command = { type = trade value = 500 }
		command = { type = loansize which = 500 }
	}
}

Should be easy to think of a rationalization for this happening to an extant Byzantine empire.

Well, in AGCEEP IIRC there's an event for anyone who own both sides of the Bosphorus. So, take Smyrna and Anatolia, and go on.

Thanks for the help.
