I need some opinions on two questions:

1. What should the province of Anhalt represent?
I have suggested several times to let it stand for Thuringia, however this does hardly work because we would need two new tags to represent the situation (you really cannot put the Landgraviate of Thuringia, the Electorate of Saxony, the Duchy of Saxony and the fragmented Saxon Duchies into two tags) and because this would make it necessary to let it stay independent in the 17th and 18th century although the fragmented Saxon Duchies in Thuringia after 1554 were completely insignificant and did nearly nothing. Letting it represent the Duchy of Anhalt is even worse, as this Askanian principality was never of any importance during the entire EU2 period. Also, it seems to me that it would be wrong to let Saxony have only one province throughout the whole game; it is supposed to be quite powerful from the late 16th century until the Congress of Vienna.
The best idea is thus probably to have it as the territory of Electoral Saxony, with Wittenberg its capital, although it is kinda strange geographically as Electoral Saxony is actually more north of Meißen (the territory with Dresden). This would provide for the following setup:
- U16 is called Duchy of Saxony
- in 1419, Saxony (SAC) owns Anhalt/Wittenberg, and U16 is in Sachsen
- in 1423 the Duchy of Saxony inherits the Electorate and becomes SAC
- by the Partition of Leipzig in 1485 Saxony becomes U16 again and releases Saxony in Anhalt/Wittenberg (I'll do it this way around because I want one country playable following all historical options, and U16 is supposed to conquer SAC)
- in the middle of the 16th century (historically it was 1554) U16, the Duchy of Saxony situated in Dresden, annexes Saxony again and becomes Saxony (a rest of the Ernestine possessions remained independent, but the essential part, electoral Saxony, was ceded to the Albertines)
- the Congress of Vienna (if done as an event) cedes Anhalt/Wittenberg to Prussia
IMO this is the most consistent and balanced solution. What do you think?

2. Should the Habsburgs own Baden, Alsace or even both?
I think we all agree that the Habsburgs should have one province in Southern Germany to represent their quite big possessions there. It has by now always been suggested that they get Baden, however I wonder if Alsace wouldn't be better:
- the bishopric of Straßburg was certainly not more important than Baden (actually it was even less remarkable)
- while the Habsburgs never controlled the territory called Baden, they were the biggest landholders in Alsace
- we could let everything remain consistent and would not have to change the purpose of a province in the middle of the game
- Strassburg is a country supposed to be annexed anyway, while the Margraviate of Baden could be designed to exist for the whole game and thus completely playable

Sweden should start with a CB shield on Gotland, since it was Swedish territory before 1361. What claim does the Hansa have, when did they rule it? I know that the TO/LO had it between 1398-1408 (Not long enough for a CB claim, especially since they sold it back to the union).

I don't know what's wrong with netscape but could not post the last days. Now I reinstalled MS Explorer and it works... strange.

To the Hanoveranian issues:

The three territories Brunswick-Luneburg, Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel and Brunswick-Calenberg were all ruled by different branches of the same family. If one branch died out, somebody from another branch took over. You have some monarchs that changed their realm because they found the free inheritance more lucrative or were forced by their relatives. That's why my Calenberg-Hanover-Monarch file has some strange people and sometimes the same persons at different times than the Luneburg-Monarch-file by Paradox.
They all were called Dukes to Brunswick, because it was an important city to the Welfen-Line, maybe since Henry the Lion.

If you want to choose how to name Hanover prior to 1636 (Hanover became Residency and Calenberg was mostly called Hanover) I think of three options:

1) Calenberg is the minor who became Hanover. In 1634 Georg, Duke of Luneburg became Duke of Calenberg, yes. But it was no inheritence as the teritorries were not united. George was
It is more like changing England to Hanover because the Elector became King of England. Or Muscowy not becoming Russia but Novgorod, as Novgorod might have been more important in 1419.

And please don't forget you do not play noble families but countries in EU.

2) The capitol of the Luneburg-branch was Celle.

3) If you want Brunswick as capitol, you have to go by the BRunswick-Wolfenbuttel part and they stayed independent until 1945.

That makes for me three options:

1)Brunswick-Calenberg with capitol maybe Neustadt, later in 1636 the option to move the residency and become Hanover

2) Brunswick-Luneburg with capitol Celle, in 1634 the option to change the realm for Calenberg and move to Hanover in 1636, maybe a single event for that is possible.

3)Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel with capitol Brunswick and never become Hanover.

Anyway I like the new events for the Electorat. Maybe I will have some time to rewrite and add on the old Hanover stuff. I have some month off now.

Why don't we just call it Brunswick? I thought it was consensus to stick with simple, general names. Otherwise you would have to rename several other German countries as well, such as Hessen (to Hessen-Kassel), Bavaria (Bavaria-Munich), Baden (Baden-Durlach or Baden-Baden)or Württemberg (Wirtemberg-Urach).

Because the city of Brunswick never was part of Hanover. But on the other hand you are right, it was an important city and Hamburg is no part of Holstein as well.
How about you call the Province and the state Brunswick with capital of whatever branch you decide to take as ruler?
To change all - province, state and city - to Brunswick is as bad a solution as to stay with Hanover. The only more than really local importance this part of Germany ever had in the EU2 time was as Hanover.

The other problem with "Brunswick" is that we then have England vassalizing Brunswick when George I comes to the the throne. I'm sure there will be a lot of posts complaining about this.

I don't think city names can be changed, so the capital should probbaly be Brunswick or Hanover. There will be something wrong no matter what the choice is. Ugh!

Saxony and Meißen

I have finally gotten around to working on the inclusion of a second Wettin country, and I decided to call it Meißen because this is a clearer, more distinct name than Duchy of Saxony and it can also be applied for the Margraviate of Meißen existing in the first four years of the GC. The
event scheme is quite complicated (it's like I already described in my last post on the subject), involving three tag changes
(U16 becomes SAC in 1425, SAC becomes U16 in 1485, U16 becomes SAC in 1554), however I hope that everything will
work out as intended.By now, I've completed events for the 15th century, alas lots of work is still to come.
BTW, can anybody do a Meißen shield and flag for me?

First off, these are the basic "pathing" events, including modified Friesland events (the Wettin appointed governor of
Friesland was Albrecht of Meißen):
Code:

First in Brandenburg, then in Lauenburg and finally 1423 in electoral Saxony the branches got extinct, and the remaining members of the family lacked unity and determination to secure the territories. Instead, the Hohenzollern and Wettins were given the old Askanian lands and took their former rank.  The last step in this process was the extinction of the electoral branch in Saxony-Wittenberg with the heirless death of Albrecht III. This caused a tough contest between the Hohenzoller Elector Friedrich of Brandenburg and the Wettin Margrave Friedrich IV of Meißen for Albrecht's possessions. Eventually, Emperor Sigismund decided in favour of the Wettin and granted the Electorate and Saxony-Wittenberg to him. Henceforth, the electoral title remained within the Wettin family that managed to become one of the predominant forces in the Empire while the Askanians left in Anhalt were virtually powerless."

And finally economic events to model Saxony's increased wealth due to greatly expanded mining activities. While doing
these, one possibly controversial, yet interesting thought came to my mind: What about adding a CoT in Saxony/Meißen in
1497 with the Imperial trade fair privilegue for Leipzig? Leipzig thereby became the principal (non-hansa) trading town of
the empire and controlled most of the trade from South Germany, East Germany and Bohemia. We'd definitely have to make
sure that it remains a relatively small CoT, though; other than that, I think it can be only good for game balance since it strengthens Meißen massively (and Meißen, or the Duchy of Saxony, needs to be strengthened as it's supposed to be
none less than the most powerful HRE state in the middle of the 16th century). Any opinions?

Bishopric events

I have scripted events for the influence of big (i.e. represented in EU2) dynasties in the German Bishoprics and
Archbishoprics. For all times when somebody from one of these families was elected (Arch-) Bishop, there is an
event vassalising the bishopric to the respective country, and usually the vassalage is broken by another event
after his death (unless the family managed to get another member elected, that is). They may appear quite
deterministic, however it is in my opinion historical that it's difficult for a bishopric to pursue an independent policy, and
it is also in the spirit of the Paradox events, considering that they already have an event for the Bavarian Archbishops
in Cologne. I don't have events for Münster since Isaac Brock has already done them (can be found in the old German
EEP thread), and very short reigns (e.g. Sigismund of Saxony in Würzburg who ruled for only
3 years) are not included, either. Here they are:

Sure, I'd love to get it in. I've tested the new setup for months now and am getting more and more satisfactory results. With Helvetia weakened slightly, the Habsburg countries very rarely loose lands and more often even seize something from Bohemia, Hungary or Helvetia, usually they remain peaceful and Austria ends up in possession of everything when it is supposed to.
Let's open a separate new Habsburg thread to revive this great idea for the EEP.

We all know the Holy Roman Empire is awfully represented in EU2, but I think the AGC had an interesting solution to the problem. There is an option to enable "HRE Independence Events" for the AGC which are a cominbation of random and non-random events to keep the AI from easily divding up Germany by encouraging (through events) the release of minors as vassals. Choice C's are available for a human player who wants Germany for himself, history be damned.

Does anyone think such an idea should be implemented in the EEP? Of course once the 30 Year's War starts, these events would be switched off.

An example from the AGC:
Code:
[COLOR=green]
EVENT = { 

	id = 21002
	trigger = { 
		countrysize = 2

			EVENT = 21240

		} 
	} 
	random = yes
	name = "German rulers demand former rights" 
	desc = "My lord, the rulers we have dispossessed have
 lobbied members of the Imperial Diet and are demanding we quit 
their lands in good order.  Not giving in to their demands could sow disorder throughout our lands and seriously impair our relations within the Empire.  What shall we do?"

I don't like these events - I find them too deterministic, and they certainly fit in with the more deterministic perspective that the AGC has taken. But I don't feel terribly strongly about it.

Twoflower - for a while I have been concerned about the Cologne 'Bavarian Influence' event. The circumstances around the rise of the Wittelsbachs in Cologne are nothing like this - Cologne was conquered by Bavarian-Imperial-Spanish troops. I'd like to see something a little more detailed about the 'War of Cologne' (which I think is the 'Truschess [sp?] War' in German) of 1583. If the Archbishop had won, Cologne would have become Calvinist. If the Netherlands (for instance) had been in a position to help him, he might well have won. Potentially if he'd been Lutheran (very hypothetical admittedly) he'd have been able to appeal to the Peace of Augsburg, or at least the part that the protestants accepted.

Also how realistic is the secularization of Mainz in 1543? I don't know much about it, but presumably with Mülberg being around then it would tie into the general imperial crisis of the time. Charles could (well had to) afford to let Magdeburg and Halberstadt be secularized, but Mainz, as an electorate surely would have been much more problematic. It seems to me there ought to be much more serious consequences to any attempt to secularize Mainz.

These bishopric events are by no means complete, more of a basis for more detailed events at least for the more contested and important elections, such as Albrecht of Brandenburg in Magdeburg and Mainz or, especially, Cologne 1583. As you probably see, for most I basically looked for dynasty names in bishop lists, sometimes added my personal knowledges and made very similar events, which is probably ok for most of them, however some certain (Arch-) bishops definitely a better representation.
BTW Isaac, any comments on Saxony or Alsace?

Perhaps we should revive this? It's a compilation of all the work previously done in the now dead Austria thread.

In case anyone wants them, here is a more working version of the events that were complied. I went to test them with a bunch of other things and was smashed by error messages.

Not really important, but Tirol's current color is the same as Mantua's

This idea works great with 1.06 and the greater importance of Alliances. Got 60 decades in and so far no ahistorical Habsburg conquests or even better no losses:)

Yes, my testing has very positive results as well. A new Habsburg thread for the revised setup and some other stuff such as a more realistic representation of Burgundy that was historically NEVER inherited by Austria should be created.

Bavaria in the Napoleonic era

Bavaria's development into a modern, powerful state in the Napoleonic era, led by its brillant, unscrupulous minister
Montgelas, badly needs a better representation in EU2. Hence, II've made these events, leaders and an AI file for this time.

Their goal was not to incorporate the ideas of the Enlightenment, but to consolidate Bavaria after its devastating defeat in the War of Austrian Succession. Nevertheless, Kreittmayr managed to establish some enlightened concepts, such as an inner logic of the laws, the desire to apply them without discriminating between social classes and the use of the german language instead of latin. After passing the Codex iuris Bavarici criminalis, the criminal law, in 1751 and the Codex iuris Bavarici iudicarii, the reorganisation of the jurisdiction, in 1753, the most important part of the new legislation, the Codex Maximilianeus Bavarici civilis which took care of the civil law, was enacted on January 2nd 1756. It remained valid bavarian law until 1899 when it was replaced by the Bürgerliche Gesetzbuch of the German Empire."

He was an unscrupulous, pragmatic politician and a supporter of Enlightenment. Under his influence, Bavaria betrayed the empire and allied with Napoleon, acquired territories from the Church (Würzburg and Salzburg) and from the defeated Habsburgs (Tirol and parts of Swabia) and eventually became a Kingdom in 1806. In order to strengthen the royal authority and to assimilate the new possessions, Montgelas introduced several reforms of the administration's organisation, competences and personal that have strongly affected Bavaria throughout his whole further history. Thus, he is considered the creator of modern Bavaria, although he always remained a stranger to the country and did not really understand its inhabitants or any nationalist sentiments that would have kept Bavaria away from an alliance with Napoleon."

Negotiations began in 1802, and victorious France soon tried to influence them, in order to strengthen the medium powers like Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden and Hessen to be counterweights against Austria and Prussia. On February 25th an agreement was reached; the two most important decisions were the Mediatisation of all free cities except for Bremen, Hamburg, Lübeck, Frankfurt, Augsburg and Nürnberg and of most small independent principalities and the Secularisation of almost all church possessions in the empire. The big countries in Southern Germany that France wanted to ally with, Bavaria, Württemberg and Baden, massively increased their territories. Bavaria received the bishoprics of Würzburg, Bamberg and Augsburg, several abbeys and twelve former imperial cities."

Also, Montgelas reformed the education system, improved measurements and began the systematic dispossession of the clerus and the secularisation of administration and laws. These steps were not very well received by the rather conservative populace and especially the church, and resistance against them emerged."

He pursued this policy with determination and consumate skill, and achieved great successes by the Deputation of the Empire in 1803 and even more by the Peace of Pressburg signed between Napoleon and Austria. In this humiliating treaty Austria accepted the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, ceded large territories to France and Bavaria - almost all of Tyrol, the principality of Eichstädt, the margraviate of Burgau, the lordship of Vorarlberg, the countships of Hohenems and Konigsegg-Rothenfels, the lordships of Argen and Tetnang, and the city of Lindau with its territory were to be added to Bavaria - and allowed the promotion of several German allies of Napoleon to new ranks. The last was the most important term for Bavaria, since it finally gained the possibility of royal honours that so many Bavarian electors had failed to obtain before. The price which the new King Maximilian had reluctantly to pay for this triumph was the marriage of his daughter Augusta with Eugene Beauharnais and the accession to the Rhine Confederacy."

EDIT: Replaced WUR by THU. Incredibly stupid mistake I made :rolleyes:
EDIT2: Gave Wrede rank 2 so that he is subordinate to Blücher and Schwarzenberg who commanded coalition armies that he fought in.

Wurzburg is THU. I was very confused at first!

Wrede was also crushed by Napoleon on his way back to France from Leipzig. And I think he was a corps commander at Eckmuhl in 1809, and held off the Austrians until Napoleon could outflank them. I do wonder about his rank.
