Dispositio Achillea event

[Sandmann]

Hi, can anyone tell me what the trigger is for this event for Brandenburg? I'm confused because it says:

Is triggered only by

the event ‘Franconian Hohenzollerns'


But that event has the same text:

Is triggered only by

the event ‘Franconian Hohenzollerns'


I once got the event which is very nice with +25% heir chance without any union over Ansbach. But in this new game Achilles died and nothing happened yet. He is also dead for Ansbach. There is also no MTTH for the event which confuses me even more. And is there any way to check this?: Does not have the country flag: albrecht_achilles_flag

Dispositio Achillea
If Brandenburg leads a union over Ansbach:
The Hohenzollern lands are now all in the hands of [Root.Monarch.GetName] but worried minds fear that they may be split and be divided once again in the future. Indeed the March of Brandenburg itself might be split among an overabundance of sons. It is clear that once strong lands such as Saxony or Thuringia have suffered hard from being parceled out to the many heirs of the principal title holders, something [Root.Monarch.GetName] would rather avoid. Indeed even at the Imperial court we have received worried warnings that we have not sufficiently protected our succession. An Electorate is expected to be indivisible.If we are to protect the Brandenburg Electorate forever however we might well have to let go of the Franconian holdings of our dynasty in Ansbach to our younger sons.
If Brandenburg does not lead a Union over Ansbach:

Trigger conditions

• Fires only once
• Is an elector of the HRE
• Does not have the country flag: albrecht_achilles_flag
• One of the following must be true:
  • Does not have the ruler ‘Albrecht III Achilles’
  • Leads a Union with Ansbach as junior partner

the event ‘Franconian Hohenzollerns'

Brandenburg must be indivisible!
Ansbach will no longer be ruled from Brandenburg.

• Lose Union with Ansbach
• Lose ‘Restoration of Union’ Causus Belli on Ansbach
• A new Ruler of the ‘von Hohenzollern’ dynasty is generated for Ansbach
• Brandenburg gets the “Dispositio Achillea” country modifier for the rest of the campaign, giving the following effects:
  • -10% Stability Cost Modifier
  • +25% Chance of a new Heir

'AI will choose this option 50% of times'

This is only a problem in families that don’t stick together.

• If number of Personal Unions is at least 1:
  • Lose 1 Stability
  • Lose 10 Prestige
• If number of Personal Unions is less than 1:
  • Gain 1 Stability
  • Gain 10 Prestige
  • The current Emperor gets the opinion modifier “Insecure Electorate Succession” worth -50 opinion towards Brandenburg for 50 years (with a yearly decay of +1).

This event is part of an event chain.

It starts with 'Succession of Albrecht Achilles' (event id flavor_brapru.22). This event is triggered by Brandenburg having the ruler 'Albrecht III Achilles' while Ansbach has the ruler 'Albrecht II Achilles', and Brandenburg has the flag 'albrecht_achilles_flag' which they start the game with. This event clears that flag and enables the event chain.

This event is hidden, so it does not show up in game. It is just a preparation to make sure the game state is the way it should be for the chain to continue.

The next event is 'Hohenzollers of Brandenburg' (event id flavor_brapru.23). Provided the hidden event has fired, this will trigger immediately, and will give you the choice of setting up the personal union over Ansbach (or install another Hohenzollern).

The next event in the chain is 'Franconian Holdings' (event id flavor_brapru.24) which is triggered by the previous event, and this is where the personal union is actually set up. It also tosses in a hidden five-year countdown for the next event in the chain.

The next event in the chain is 'Dispositio Achillea'. It will trigger five years after the previous one, ref. the hidden countdown if you chose a personal union. If you went with the other option, it checks to see if Albrecht III Achilles is dead as well.

You will then get the choice of this event - losing the union, or maintaining the union (at a cost).

To sum this up - the event chain will trigger only if Brandenburg's original heir comes to power before the original Ansbach ruler dies. This will immediately set up the union, and progress from there. If Ansbach's ruler dies before Brandenburg's heir comes to power, the event will never fire. If Brandenburg's heir dies without ever being king, the event will never fire. One of these two scenarios must have happened in your game.

Thanks for the clarification! Dunno if it is intended but the event Dispositio Achillea has now happened in two games where my heir Achilles both times died before ever being ruler (made him general). Not complaining tho as the event is very nice..

Just had that event. Ansbach wasn't my PU(eaten by Bavaria). Achilles 2 died as an heir.
If is_triggered_only = yes means only triggered by event it shouldn't have happened.
There must be something else that triggers the event.

Found it. There is a bunch of stuff in on_action.

on_heir_death = {
if = {
limit = { has_country_flag = albrecht_achilles_flag }
clr_country_flag = albrecht_achilles_flag #Death of original Albrecht Achilles
}


on_new_monarch = {
events = {
flavor_brapru.25 #Dispositio Achillea (can also trigger from flavor_brapru.22)

on_monarch_death = {
if = {
limit = {
tag = ANS
BRA = {
has_country_flag = albrecht_achilles_flag
}
}
BRA = {
clr_country_flag = albrecht_achilles_flag #Just to be sure
kill_heir = yes #If Albrecht Achilles dies in Ansbach he will also be dead in Brandenburg, will appear as normal death of heir to BRA.
}
}

If Achilles II dies in ANS or as heir in BRA flavor_brapru.25 will trigger for BRA on next monarch after Albrecht III Achilles.

Aha, nice! Where do you find this on_action?

To sum up what's already in the thread:
There are two ways for this to trigger and the actual effect of the event will also be a bit different depending on how you got it
