Need a Move Capital Event

[dag231]

Not being a modder, I am looking for an event that would allow me to move a capital and rename a region (as part of my Romanian AAR).

Specifically, moving the Romanian capital to Istanbul and renaming it Constantinople.

How difficult would this be?

Thanks in advance.

Well, renaming province is not done by event, it's changed from differend file and the changes are permanent.
This is event for you to get capital in Istanbul. You need to fire it manually.

event = {
	id = 888888
	random = no

	name = "Honey, pack your stuff!"
	desc = "Where are we going?"
	style = 0

	action_a = {
		name = "To Istanbul, baby!"
		command = { type = capital which = 409 } # Istanbul
		}
}

I can make triggers, but I have not read your AAR thus I don't know what kind of trigger I should put. But manually triggering ain't hard.

Cool, thanks...

I can manually fire it, not a problem. Same with changing the name (which, I assume is in Province Names in the config folder).

If I wanted to add 100 manpower to represent the renewed sense of patriotism, would the completed code be something like

#########################################################################
#  Establishment of Constantinople as Capital
#########################################################################

event = {
	id = 888888
	random = no

	name = "Constantinople Named Capital"
	desc = "With Turkey conquered, Mikhail, King of the Romanians, announced that Istanbul would be renamed Constantinople as the new glittering capital of the Greater Romanian Republic"
	style = 0

	action_a = {
		name = "To Istanbul, baby!"
		command = { type = capital which = 409 } # Istanbul

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME1003A"
		command = { type = manpowerpool value = 100 }
	}
}

	}
}

Hmmmm... didnt fire for some reason when I tried to do it manually.

 

[Lord Finnish]

Maybe you put one "8" too little or too much?

 

[Cyrus Spitama]

No country tag for the event ?

 

[dag231]

No country tag for the event ?

Yeah, I tried that.

This is what is in the romania file in the db/events/ folder:

#########################################################################
#  Establishment of Constantinople as Capital
#########################################################################
event = {
	id = 888888
	random = no
	country = ROM

	name = "Constantinople Named Capital"
	desc = "With Turkey conquered, Michael I, King of the Romanians, announced that Istanbul would be renamed Constantinople and would stand as the new glittering capital of the Greater Romanian Republic. A wave of patriotism followed. "
	style = 0
        picture = "constantinople"

	action_a = {
		name = "Greater Romanian Republic Needs a New Capital"
		command = { type = capital which = 409 } # Istanbul
		command = { type = manpowerpool value = 100 }
	}
}

But when I try to manually fire it, nothing happens.

Got it to work... thanks...

Try adding a trigger to see if that remedies it. A nice simple one like, exists = ROM along with the ownership of Istanbul( I forget the exact command for that atm because I am otherwise distracted).

P.S. Have you added a core on Istanbul ? As I recall, capitols must be located on cores.

I believe it was just a matter of placing it in every single Mod34 location and then exiting the game...

Seems to work okay without having Istanbul as a core.

 

[Cyrus Spitama]

Ah you see, we had assumed to closed game before attempting it Mid game added events don't fire... hehe

P.S. Why would you want a capitol location without having a core on it?

I will add the core manually when I change the name from Istanbul to Constantinople... actually, never thought about the whole notion of having it as a core, just needed the event for the AAR...

 

[dag231]

Speaking of cores, if I wanted an event that grants a core, what would that code look like?

I am thinking that after the establishment of the Greater Romanian Republic (again, this is for that ARR), that after 10 years of occupation that a province would convert to being a core if that province borders a province already in the empire (would represent cultural creep).

Kinda busy with my ARA game atm but, look at the German/Austria anschluss event for proper code.

}
}


P.S> Don't think there is an option to check for your 10 year parameter. You will just have to work with that. Maybe some others here know of a way to check for this?
