Louis Phillip will not be felled/Event does not fire

[unmerged(58813)]

First couple of times I played revolutions I noticed that while Germany has no trouble forming I never saw a completed Italy. Curious I played SarPie and noticed something odd, the French events for Italian Unification never fired. Wondering about this I tried to manually fire off the events and followed the path of triggers down to event id 7202 The Fall of Louis Phillip, which seems to just not happen. Played a game with France until the target date to make absolutely sure the triggers were present:

trigger = {
OR = {
constitution = { type = monarchy }
constitution = { type = constitutional_monarchy }
}
pending_revolution = yes
}

Though I am not entirely sure of what "pending_revolution = yes" means so I tried both before and after Liberal Revolution, and before and after rebels spawned and took provinces. No luck. I might as well have been typing in a gibberish event for all the good it did me. Quick check of the forums shows either no one else has noticed or cared about Louis Phillip's miraculous staying power. This opens the possiblity that I am absolutely crazy, something I always try to keep in mind.

I saw a post about it a while back. I don't recall what pending revolution means in terms of gameplay though.

The virtual absence of the firing of the Fall of Louis-Phillipe event (and thus the virtual absence of the Second Republic and Second Empire events) is the result of a "pending revolution" condition being added to the event trigger. This is not a bug, since it is working properly as newly designed.

Ah, I see. Thanks. WAD it is.

Seems a bit of an overburden though, doesn't it? Paris actually being in the hands of Rebels I mean. Perhaps merely having revolt risk within Paris would be better, though even that is easy to avoid so early in the game. Ah well, guess I'll have to get used to a Europe without an unified Italy (unless I make it, of course).

Ye, but there's a little problem: the pending_revolution trigger does not work, AFAIK.

Pending Revolution does it AFAIK (was fixed for Revolutions) but requires high overall militancy AND that the capital fall to rebels before it can fire.

Known issue and developers are thinking of another approach that is a bit less simple to avoid.

Too bad there is not a "dissent" display as in HoI2. That may have made things a bit easier.

Interesting... I've played two full-length Revolutions games so far (as USA and Sweden), and the unification of Italy took place in both of them.

It works, but the requirements for it are so stringent that the Fall of Louis Phillip event will hardly ever occur.
