For both Safavid Takeover events, shouldn't Azerbaijan be controlled too?

In this case, can't we extend AKK event until the beginning of 1493 (but not too much after), according to the dates of the new alternate 0104533 monarch?

Yes and yes.

Handling Safavids monarchs from AKK or QAR events won't work. You have to trigger a PER event for this (one for AKK and another for QAR).

Was afraid of that, will fix.

edit: I decided to just make one and then make the sequences mutually exclusive. I don't really think it would make sense to have the very bizarre occurrence where QAR becomes PER and then dies to AKK, only to have AKK turn into PER. Not likely but no reason to allow for the possibility.

I agree. You will need only one PER event for monarchs in this case. :)
 
@Garbon: I saw the modifications but i don't understand the need of control of Azebaijan for Question of Sultan Haidar event. If AKK owns the province but doesn't control it for any reason (rebels..), could it be sufficient for preventing the sequence to fire?

It is not the same problem for other events and possible dates. This is why I asked for possible extension of dates for new AKK Safavid Takeover.

You're right, we can probably take it out. I wouldn't want the sequence not to fire, simply because the AKK didn't control the province in that short time span.
 
As another change for the Safavids...

According to "Safavid Iran: Rebirth of a Persian Empire" and the "Cambridge History of Iran, Volume 6" neither Hamza Mirza or Abu Talib actually ruled the Safavids. Although both were nominated to be crown prince at various times, Abbas was the direct successor of Muhammad Khudabanda who he desposed on the 16th of October, 1587. The Cambridge History suggests that often Hamza and Abu Talib are reported to have ruled because affairs during Khudabanda's reign were in such a state of confusion. However, the fact is that neither Hamza or Abu Talib (a name that certainly would have changed had he actually ruled) were Safavid monarchs. Thus:

Code: 
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 0104509 }
	startdate = {
		day = 24
		month = november
		year = 1577

		year = 1586

historicalmonarch = {

	deathdate = {

		year = 1587
	}
	name = "Abu Talib"
	DIP = 4
	MIL = 3
	ADM = 3
	dormant = no
}[/color]
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 0104512 }
	startdate = {

	}

#-#The Safavid sect found itself vying for political power when supported by their militant turkish Shia followers. Although of persian ancestry, the Safavids had adopted a turkic dialect. During Ismail's rule, turkish nobles would have the most sway in court. Upon taking Tabriz, Ismail, with the support of his militant followers, proclaimed Shia the faith of the land. Religion was to prove a unifying point for the Safavid state.

Why not but I tried to find something significant without big surprise for the player according to the choice.

Remember it solves a problem for the display of the tooltip of action_c too.

I guess it works, it just seems like a silly little event.

My issue is that it just looks odd to trigger an event for The Pope. Not such a big deal if C doesn't trigger another event...although, if we went with the religious idea, we could have one event for a & b, something about missionaries or something...and then choice c could have some of the revolt stuff about angry Shia Safavid followers.
 
A capital move is not a little event and we have the occasion to explain it. ;)

Anyway, no problem with a more elegant solution. Just propose it. In the mean time, mine will be temporary (and no Pope in the tooltip).
 
This capital move is though...seeing as how most of the time the Safavids will already have it as their capital. :p

Anyway, description for the current fix (to be replaced at a later date):

Tabriz was an excellent choice for the capital of the Safavid state. As a prosperous trading city and former capital of both the Kara Koyunlu and Ak Koyunlu, the location added a further aura of legitimacy to the Safavid regime.
 
Change for a Safavid monarch. I'll need to write a fitting event later, but essentially the shah Safi II had such a poor start to his reign, that two years in, he had a new coronation and came to the throne as Suleiman I.:rofl:

Code: 
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 0104515 }
	startdate = {
		day = 26
		month = october
		year = 1666
	}
	deathdate = {
		[color=limegreen]month = march
		year = 1668[/color]
	}
	name = [color=limegreen]"Safi II"[/color]
	DIP = [color=limegreen]4[/color]
	MIL = 4
	ADM = 4
	dormant = no
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id =  }
	startdate = {
		month = march
		year = 1668
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 29
		month = july
		year = 1694
	}
	name = "Suleiman I"
	DIP = 4
	MIL = 4
	ADM = 4
	dormant = no
	remark = "Safi II took a new name"
}
 
Changes to the Tahmasp ruler to represent his minority:

Code: 
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id =  }
	startdate = {
		day = 23
		month = may
		year = 1524
	}
	deathdate = {
		year = 1527
	}
	name = "Div Sultan (Tahmasp I)"
	DIP = 3
	MIL = 6
	ADM = 3
	dormant = no
	remark = "of Rumlu tribe"
}

historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id =  }
	startdate = {
		year = 1527
	}
	deathdate = {
		year = 1531
	}
	name = "Cuha Sultan (Tahmasp I)"
	DIP = 4
	MIL = 5
	ADM = 3
	dormant = no
	remark = "of Takkalu tribe"
}

historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id =  }
	startdate = {
		year = 1531
	}
	deathdate = {
		month = december
		year = 1533
	}
	name = "Husayn (Tahmasp I)"
	DIP = 3
	MIL = 5
	ADM = 4
	dormant = no
	remark = "of Shamlu tribe"
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 0104507 }
	startdate = {
		[color=red]day = 23
		month = may
		year = 1524[/color]
		[color=yellow]month = december
		year = 1533[/color]
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 14
		month = may
		year = 1576
	}
	name = "Tahmasp I"
	DIP = 3
	MIL = 6
	ADM = 5
	dormant = no
}

And one new leader:
Code: 
historicalleader = {
	id = { type = 6 id =  }
	category = general
	name = "Bahram Mirza"
	startdate = {
		year = 1529
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 15
		month = september
		year = 1550
	}
	rank = 1
	movement = 3
	fire = 2
	shock = 3
	siege = 0
	dormant = no
	remark = "Only loyal brother of Tahmasp I"
}
 
Another Safavid regency:

Code: 
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id =  }
	startdate = {
		day = 11
		month = may
		year = 1642
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 9
		month = october
		year = 1645
	}
	name = "Saru Tariq (Abbas II)"
	DIP = 5
	MIL = 6
	ADM = 7
	dormant = no
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 0104514 }
	startdate = {
		[color=red]day = 11
		month = may
		year = 1642[/color]
		[color=yellow]day = 9
		month = october
		year = 1645[/color]
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 26
		month = october
		year = 1666
	}
	name = "Abbas II"
	DIP = 7
	MIL = 6
	ADM = 6
	dormant = no
}
