@ Kaiser, of course I am going to use your pics. Have no worries about that.
You able to make some more for me?
@Richmond, Any naval data you can give me is great.
The mod begins Jan 1st 1792, and so far no ending date has been defined past 1815 or so. I would like to expand it past then, but it would be hard to simulate Boney winning and staying in power. :wacko:
Only way they can be simulated is through events. In the historical battles such as Camperdown I will have the event give and take away ships as per the results of history. For example in my Quasi Naval War events between France and the US I have the US gaining frigates and the French losing them. Unfortunately no other way to simulate captures. Only have three sailing slots and those are taken up by SOLs, Frigates and Clippers.
Below are two example of the naval captures in the Quasi War between France and the US, First the American one and the French event it triggers.
No, it will not be V:R compatible. I don't have the expansion yet and won't till the cd version comes out. After that, I may convert it, but have to get the vanilla Vicky version done first.
event = {
id = 106018
random = no
country = USA
trigger = {
AND = {
event = 106017 # US reaction
}
}

desc = "The French have continued issuing letters of marque to raid our commerce. The American response was swift, in Feb 1799 - the frigate Constellation (36) captured L'Insurgente (40), and sunk the La Vengeance (54)."

command = { type = delete_unit which = -3 } #loss of ship
command = { type = delete_unit which = -3 } #loss of ship

command = { type = treasury which = -1000 } #US Navy seizures

}
action_b = {

}
}
Cheers, Thorgrimm
