England and its colonies...

[Crowsy]

I agree with the 'Evil Capitalist' that surely the whole point of the game is to see what might happen. I can see that history must have a part but there must be an alternative otherwise you might just as well pick up a history book.

 

[unmerged(1196)]

There are alternatives.

The US can either push for annexation of the historical area of Oregon, push for annexation of a greater area, or not push at all. England can either accept or reject the US' demand.

I believe in historically plausible alternatives. EC is advocating a historically implausible alternative.

 

[unmerged(6603)]

I agree with Ramo... and that doesn't happen much


hope you guys are taking care of what i started

 

[Kevyinus]

wondered if theres an event for ` Report on the Affairs of British North America ´ in 1839 by Lord John Durham , Canada's governor - general. This report recommended that responsible government (the acceptance by governors of the advice of local ministers) should be granted to Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec), which should be merged into one.

This should boost stability in the region for a certain time like 12 months+ or put rebels % down for a time. i posted this here cos Canada isnt independant at this time.

Tried to make a code, needs a good luck at lol, just leave it if rubbish

[Styrbiorn]

I excluded the first union event, it's already there.
About the Empress of India events, I find that one really interesting, not in its current form, but as an idea. I edited it a bit so you actually need to own all of India before that event triggers, and when it does trigger, I think we should add some nice benefits (CB shields, reduced province revoltrisk or whatever). Any ideas?

I thought it could be a good point to use, but i didnt know what happeneds around their. You could do that which u did and make her emperess when the whole of india is capured and then hav CB against the rest of the territory she is suposed to be emperess over, or u could make her emperess anyway and hav a CB against all the parts of she is suposed to own, even if they include european powers. but definatly put revolt risk down you do say from time to time GB is pelted with revolts. also maybe if u havnt given the indian/hindu religion to GB then maybe u could then because she is emperess.


just wondered if the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 is in, and it could hav a choice to pass it and if u dont things like the Rebbecca Riots dont happen. Also is their anythin about Dr Livingstone in Africa?

Just the amendment if their is a poor law ammendment to hav the clause if u say no to it the rebecca riots dont occur, need to put the reb. riots id in also as u know.

[Kevyinus]

hmmmm...never got bak to me, anyway below is the Livingstone
event if you dont have one.

About the 'Emp. of India event' I do think it wud be a good
opertunity to giv the uk a rite to india culture if it hasnt already
done. i dont think it should only be done if you control all of india
cos britain never controlled the whole of india especially not in
1877. maybe CBz like i sed above to all the land within the
Emperess of India Realm ~ present day India, Pakistan, Sri
Lanka, Bangladesh, and most of Burma ( & the Maldive Islands if
in game). Oh and one more thing n the Opium Wars event, does
it hav the anexing of Hong Kong? just wondered.

anyway the doc code

[nelly644]

[Kevyinus]

These are all the events for Great Britain in the flavor_eng and major_eng files. I kno theirs others in other files, but its called lazyness e.g. the corfu event.

Anywayz, any other new event ideas then the ones above will be welcomed, i dont mind scrpting and testing them. Also im changing a few of the descriptions in the major_eng file so ill compile the lot and test them b4 sending them to Styrbiorn.

oh yea Styrbiorn/anyone who knows which ID tags for Britain are free? I have about 10+ events im scripting and more on its way, and want to test them out. ill post the events here when ive scripted them.

 

[Kevyinus]

These are the current events I am scripting which i need ID's to test them :

Michael Faraday #some famous person i remember*
Darwin #his adventrues on HMS Beegle
Darwin #published "Origin of Species"
Charles Dickens #writes Oliver, becomes well known writer*
Edward Bransfield #first to sight antartic mainland*
Robert Falcon scott #Scotts Expadition
Sir Alexander Flemming #Discovered antibiotics
Florence Nightingale #the perfect nurse

Possible#

Dominion of Newfoundland event
Dominion of New Zealand event
Union of South Africa event

Correcting:
My game event discriptions looked distorted, undistorted,
Emperess of India event need more outcomes, like discussed above. If Newfoundland to be created Dominion of Canada event editing.

 

[Kevyinus]

IDz

Does anyone know any British event ID's which are free?, or any in general which i can use to test these events out I have made so far. I need around 10-15 ID's

 

[unmerged(1196)]

Check the Grand ID thread and the ENG file for free ID's.

As for testing ID's, there are no constraints on the ID values (as long as it's not unreasonably large), AFAIK. So pick something way out of the range of everything else like 80000.

Extra events

I am a bit of a newbie but having read the thread I have a couple of extra suggestions for events:

Ilberts Bill: February 1883
At the request of the Indian Viceroy the Marquess of Ripon, a bill was drawn up which gave equal rights in the legislature to Indians, this would have allowed Indian Judges and Magistrates to try whites.

No. We cannot suffer to be ruled by savages.
Revolt risk +2 in India
bad relations with any independant Indian states

Yes we must pass it, the educated Indian's are our equals.

All hindu Indian provinces become British Core provinces and Britain gains Indian culture

Rather than have the Emperess of India event give Britain Indian culture it could be given as a result of Ilberts Bill.

If the Bill is passed you could have:

The Traders Mutiny: October 1883.
Led by J.J.J. 'King' Keswick of Jardine Skinner & Co the British traders rebel and try to kidnap the Viceroy.
Revolts in Bombay and Calcutta

failing to pass Ilberts Bill you get:

The Indian National Congress 1887.
Failure to give Indians equality with their white overlords caused great resentment by 1887 it was clear that the Indian National Congress was not acting as a safety valve for nationalist sentiment but was in fact encouraging it across the whole of India.
Nationalism +2 if thats possible?

Other non Indian events:

Stock markets:

Growing power of the Stock markets
During the 1820s the London Stock Exchange became the rival to Paris as the largest Bourse in the World, with the help of the powerful merchant banking families Britain was able to borrow more money at lower rates of interest to finance it's wars and expansion.

Loans set to 1000 ducats
Tax value +1 in Anglia

Financial might of London

In the 1870s London finally overtook then dwarfed
Paris as the international financial capital. Close ties between the Government and the Stock market allowed for lower interest rates and inflation whilst the powerful and rich banking family the Rothschilds gave the Government access to vast new sources of revenue, allowing massive spending deficits to be run during war time.

Inflation -15
Loans upto 5000 ducats
Tax value +2 in Anglia

The Suez Purchase: Novemeber 1875
With the Egyptian Khedive now bankrupt we can purchase a 49% stake in the Suez canal guaranteeing British interests in the region.

Gives tax value +1 in Anglia to represent the continuing growth in value of the shares and dividends and CB shields across all of Egypt, to represent the reasons for future British adventures in Egypt.

could u re-post these in the AoN: Britain thread so i can add them2 the rest (the list of possible events are at the top of that thread) This thread is the old thread

Edit: It would be good if a MOD could close this thread, and ammend St, Jaba's post with links. Changing the link to this thread to the link of AoN: Britain thanks.
