Historical lucky nations

[unmerged(43922)]

yes, in my french game the lucky tag went to Brabant

 

[orwell]

Is there a way in game to check who got lucky on random?

Figured it was Habsburg and Turkey, but since one is just a Lineage and the other doesn't really exist, wasn't sure if that was it.

To find out what nations are lucky open your save and search for the word luck.

In my game I have been playing as England/Great Britain and the Byzantine Empire got the extra luck tag. It would be interesting to see how many times that happens.

Historical lucky are these...

1) If less than 8 lucky countries exists...
- if its before 1700
SPA, (if SPA doesn't exist, CAS)
TUR
- Pick RUS, if they don't exist, then MOS
- GBR, if they don't exist, then ENG
- FRA
- HAB
- If PRU has 7 or more provinces, then PRU
- If NED has 7 or more provinces, then NED
- if before 1700, pick POR
-if before 1750, pick SWE

so at a 1399 start, you'd get CAS, TUR, MOS, ENG, FRA, HAB, POR, SWE always.


if still <8 lucky, pick random ones until 8.

It looks like the lucky tags are hardcoded, so if you wanted to make Byzantium, say, lucky then you would have to change the files so that their code was one of the ten codes mentioned by Johan.

On a different note, the game.log file contains the initial lucky nations and whether they got that status historically or randomly.

I think that Poland should be lucky nation too. Commonwealth was very powerful country.

While I agree, I'm not sure which of the 8 current historical nations should get knocked off to replace it. Sweden?

Countries that get annexed and removed from the map during the game are NOT lucky countries.

 

[Mowers]

Can random lucky countries be those that are not on the map at the opening of play?

It would be cool if they were, with say strong RR bonus's for random lucky countries so that they emerge out of the ruins of another country. Like the Netherlands for example.

Now there's an idea!

Make the Rebels that historically were successful lucky.

But probably too much to ask for.

EUIV?

Well, assuming that the random chance is taken from a list and assuming that its just a line of code for if=lucky nation then give +RR to nationalist revolters then it ought to be straight forward.

If.

Assuming.

Thinking of it, it would be really cool if they was a 'choose lucky nations' option.

This can be managed via Savegames, no? Or does the game automatically restore the default lucky balance if I modify the savegame?

This is really cool since we can simulate hypothetical situation (e.g. what if nation X were successful).

 

[mgoetze]

One way to check in-game whether a nation is lucky is to look at your compete chance vs. one of their merchants (hover your mouse over their shield in a CoT).

Afaik you can alter lucky nations in the save game, however there can't be more than 8

Polish textbooks must be biased because every pole i know in this forum is mega nationalistic and glorifies it's nation as the heaven on earth.
