Creating Leaders/Creating Events?

[JosunUrashima]

Im wanting to add a leader for Germany, and I want to have him have an event that lets him do a Takeover and replace Hitler as Furher.

How exactly would I go about doing this?

Id also like to know how to create General events.

You can't create a new general via event from scratch, but you can create him in the leader files and activate him via event. Otoh any leader becomes active once you reach the start year for him defined in said leader files, so unless there are some special reasons you can do without the events if you only want to add leaders.

The HOIWiki tells you how to mod in leaders (generals):

If you want him as Head of State, Head of Gov or as some minister you need to mod him into the minister files, which is separate from being a military leader who can command units in the field. This is explained here:
