Why does this event, esp. the IC reduction seem to have no effect? I fired it manually (when not playing CHI) after AI CHI became a JAP puppet, but from the screen there was still the same IC. Didn't load as CHI to test again though.....

So nobody likes me here, fine

Seriously, nobody knows? Maybe I havbe to edit in exact province numbers to reduce IC there.....?

I think your problem may be your trigger condition :-

trigger = {
ai = yes
ispuppet = JAP
}

"ai=yes" is fine, however, "ispuppet = JAP" will check to see if JAP is a puppet, and since you are trying to get this to fire for CHI...

Try replacing "ispuppet = JAP" with "puppet = { country = CHI country = JAP}", and see if that works.

I thought it would check if Chi is a puppet of Jap.....but I did what you suggested, and it works now.

Many thx

You might have a problem however...
There is a bug where if you reduce any value to 0 (IC in this case) it doesn't get stored in the save file and will be reloaded from province.csv when you load a savegame. The fix for this is to set the IC to 0 in provinces.csv and add the starting IC in the *.inc files.
