Possible bug in Iraqi Coup chain (#100003ff)

[Taijian]

Hi there!

Playing as the UK today I had the following turn of events:

1. Egypt decided to stand by ENG in the unexpected neutrality event, thus retaining control of it's coast.
2. ITA joined the axis, but did not really go anywhere, due to my defences.
3. The Iraqi coup event fires, causing me to declare war on SYR and LEB, thus giving me 20 points of dissent. :wacko:

Here's what I think needs fixing:

1. Event 100003 only checks for NOT = { ENG control of the coast }. However, if EGY never relinquished control to ENG, then this is always true. So the trigger should be amended to also check for NOT = { EGY control of the coast}.

2. I seriously doubt that a decision by Churchill to occupy SYR and LEB would have upset the British populace to the extend of 20% dissent. Maybe the event declaring war (100004) should also remove that dissent again?

Thank you for your attention

The dissent is a bit OTT, indeed - it is generated by the game engine, however, from the DoW commands. This is a modified vanilla event, remember, so you'd get the same problem there. I've tweaked the event for our maintenance version.

Thank you!

Oh, and I found another one in the same event:

The trigger also checks for 'alliance = { country = ITA country = EGY }' as one of the conditions that may fire the Iraqi coup. Turns out, after Italy surrenders to the allies in events 36 and 37, this becomes true... So that the defeat of Italy at the hands of Britain convinces the Iraqis to rise up against Britain because their power is waining :wacko:

I suggest putting in a 'NOT = { event = 37 }' to prevent that from happening.

Well, it is rather unlikely that Syria would still be around as a separate state by the time Italy surrenders, so the event probably wouldn't fire anyway. But I've added a check to that particular trigger so that the requirement is that Italy be allied to Egypt, but not allied to the UK.
