Modern Day Events Thread

[unmerged(13350)]

I concur.

 

[Pal]

I´ve come up with a couple of huge international music events. Although they won´t change gameplay, I believe they´ll add to the fun

Tell me if you think there are too many "Eurovision Song Contest" events, but here in Europe it´s a pretty famous thing and thus I wanted all major powers to get it. OTOH, I´d like to add all 26 participants, although I doubt nyone will ever play as Malta or Cyprus (if they are even implemented).

Please give me some input... Tomorrow I´ll work on the German anti-war demonstration events and some state department politics (also for Germany).

On a related note:
Will we use DEU as the German tag? I read the GER tag was hardcoded to be aggressive and thus is not a very good choice for modern day´s Germany...

EDIT:
The direct linking didn´t work... How can I attach text files? It says I may not attach files at the moment...

 

[unmerged(16020)]

We're using the GER tag for now. We'll probably switch it with China later. There is no such thing as a DEU tag.

None of that stuff is important for the alpha, but of course I'm thankful if you do the work since it will add to the game.

 

[unmerged(16020)]

I'm making the events basic for now. I just want the job done for the alpha, we can build in flavor and whatnot afterwards.

TAIWAN Events

"Declare Independance?"
Country: Taiwan (CHI)
85001
Triggers: Date= March 3rd, 2006 (maybe March 3, 1939 for testing)
Taiwan exists
Taiwan is not at war

"On March 3rd, 2006, in a historic referendum, Taiwan debated on whether to declare its independance that had been obvious for so many years. The argument for stated that the issue wouldn't be going away and since China's growth is constant, sooner is better than later, and finally throw off the yoke of blackmail. Critics of the referendum argued that such a unilateral declaration could easily provoke hostility."

Option A - Declare Independance
Trigger 85002

Option B - It's not worth it
Dissent + 8
Trigger 85003

"Taiwan declares independance"
Country: China
85002
Triggers: (Option A 85001)
March 4th, 2006 (1939 for testing)

"Taiwan recently declares its independance, which immediately requires a statement from the Chinese government."

Option A- Prepare for war and issue an ultimatum
Trigger 85004
Option B- Back down and grumble
Dissent +5

"China issues ultimatum"
Country: USA (USA)
85004
Triggers: (Option A 85002)

"China, in response to Taiwan's independance referendum passing, issued a referendum demanding an immediate withdrawl of this new policy and is threatening war. Policy advisors suggest calling the Chinese bluff with one of American making."

Option A- Declare solidarity with the Taiwanese
Trigger 85005
Taiwan joins the Allies

Option B- You act unilaterally, you deal with it. Wash our hands of it.
Dissent + 5
Trigger 85006

"The US Backs Taiwan"
Country: China (CHC)
85005
Triggers: (Option A 85004)

"The US just backed the Taiwanese referendum, arguing that individuals have the right to self-determination. The choices are no longer opaque, either back down in humiliation or go to war."

War against Taiwan

Option B- This isn't what we wanted
Dissent +8

"The US Seperates from Taiwanese Independance"
Country: Taiwan (CHI)
85006
Trigger (Option A 85004)
"The US government, shocked at the turn of events, backed off the Taiwan issue out of fear of World War III. This effectively throws Taiwan to the wolves. China's ultimatum requires Taiwan to bow down to the mainland and sets up a Hong-Kong style government if Taiwan agrees."

Option A - Submit to Chinese terms (Game Over)
China annexes Taiwan

Option B - So it's war then!
War with China

"Taiwan backs down on referendum"

[Pal]

Sounds good. Shall I code these events? (Some of the stuff is redundant, btw.)

If so, do you want the answers to Taiwan´s policy be triggered directly or a few days later? (You wrote both types of triggers )

 

[unmerged(16020)]

I suppose a few days later would be better now that I think about it, and sure, I'd love you to code them. I trust your judgement.

 

[Pal]

I have coded those events using triggers only. That way everything might happen the same day, but it DOES happen.

If you better like it to take some days for the ultimatums and responses to generate some athmosphere, I can easily change that. I´d like it better with actual some days passing before the US send their response to the Chinese ultimatum... However, this would make it more difficult, since we need to insert triggers in every single event that check if Taiwan is still at peace or the USA are not at war with China anyway.

I tested them and they work great, thanks! I'm not sure on whether to do the response time or not, I don't really have an opinion on that issue. Thanks, I'll try and write some South Korean events soon as well.

 

[unmerged(13350)]

lunar i'm done coding the main part of the Russian Revolution events. I need to do some pre-Revolutions events, but other than that I'm good.

to completely wrap it up, i need the minister_rus.csv file so i can put in the ministers for putin's fascist rebels, the democratic interim government, and the communists.

EDIT
also, the tech tree would be nice. the communists are going to receive some techs in the chinese aid event

 

[unmerged(20598)]

Tyi kazhetsya govorish' po-russki? Follow this link. You can combine Putin's ministers with those from the fascist cabinet...

 

[unmerged(16020)]

Ok, Zampolit, sent you some of the files. I don't have minister_rus compiled yet, I'll try and do some work with ministers and leaders soon. We also don't have the tech tree coded, so give them HoI techs for now for testing.

 

[unmerged(13350)]

i havent gotten it yet. hoping it didnt get sent back. im on AIM if you want to talk to me about the events and coordinate the files that way.

EDIT
nevermind i found the PMs. thanks

EDIT
okay you can take those files off your server now i got em

 

[unmerged(23487)]

Perhaps there could be a Russian Strenght event like the Coalition/Chinese/European strength events?

 

[h345]

what events need coding?

 

[unmerged(23487)]

Ok, here is what I think:

There should be a Russian Strength and Middle-East Strength events. The Chinese strenght event should give bonuses to Myanmar also.

 

[unmerged(16020)]

h345, I think there are some in the Northern Europe and Iberia thread.

 

[unmerged(13350)]

Lunar im going to email you the files ive been away for awhile and havent gotten a chance sorry

 

[unmerged(13350)]

let me know what else you need me to do

 

[unmerged(16020)]

I didn't get them, can you try again? Thanks for your work by the way.

Besides the Russian Civil War? We need events for North Korea to attack South Korea, China to attack India, and Russia to attack Europe.
