Why? In this case safety events (the one you scripted for OE and missing one for Safavids) should handle situation even if Treaty can fire after them and before 1700.ConjurerDragon said:

The missing PER event:
TUR_301128 and PER_254026 should be slept if cores are removed with Kasr-i Sirin events.
For the description of Kasr-i Sirin:
EVENTHIST3387;The Treaty of Kasr-i Sirin (also known as Treaty of Zuhab), signed between the Ottoman Empire and Persia in 1639, established borders that have changed little to this day. Hostilities between the two great empires decreased remarkably following the treaty as their relations steadily improved until 1722 when war broke out again. However, the treaty was dusted off and renewed in 1747.;;;;;;;;;;

I'm still against this event sequence (I don't really see how anything has fundamentally changed -- i.e. it is still gross determinism!), but I don't think the existence of one of those buffer states should prevent it.
BTW, I've only run two tests so far, but Safavid-Ottoman borders look a bit better pre-Zuhab, if those two forced war commands are removed.

We can remove the sequence and see what happens... In this case, safety events will remain to handle lost cores after 1639.Garbon said:

I think that may be the best solution for the time being.
True, option b is quite bad...perhaps we should just remove option b and put its effects in place of those in option a. After all, we don't need the increase in stability if Persia isn't declaring war and the land boost seems rather artificial.
For 3363, I think we might just drop action a. After all, why should the Ottomans get a military boost and why should the rebels be more voracious in such and option? I don't really think the Ottomans need a choice once the war command is gone.

Yoda what did you mean in the Évents renumbering thread with used TUR event numbers after *removal* of Kasr-i-Sirin?
Garbon said:
Sure, but I have not even noticed that even 1 of the events of Kasr was removed. Changed yes, but which one was removed?
Garbon said:
Isn´t that somewhat overdone? I mean we discuss a sequence that was at one time added to the mod, then we discuss about additional secedecommands, about a trigger that makes it much less likely and the situation more historical to trigger - and then the entire sequence is gone?
Not really. After all, since I started discussing it, it hasn't been much about what is to be ceded but about how to make the sequence applicable to the game (with the statement made that it is vital to keeping the region in tact). Given our inability to develop a working solution and the quick notice that the region doesn't look so bad once we've removed the war commands from the TUR-PER sequences, then there wasn't really much need for the event at the moment. After all, why include a scripted peace treaty if it is unnecessary and wasn't working quite correctly anyway?
I can't express better. This is exactly the conclusion I had.
Anyway, as usual, I kept a copy of the removed events.

Garbon said:
Because:
- the treaty of Kasr/Zuhab would after the extensive changes to it´s trigger conditions fire much less often and would alone from this never again be the problem you described it to be before those suggested trigger changes,
- would only fire it the Ottomans were much closer to their historical expansion so that your fear that a crippled OE would receive provinces as alms from a giant Safavid empire would no more be possible (even when it was very rare already before).
- would only fire if both sides actually do own at least one province of the other so that it could never be the case that one side receives nothing in exchange for a province what you feared.
That the border looks better now after the removals of the forced wars using war commands is good - but that also means that the Kasr/Zuhab event sequence is in addition to the trigger conditions even less likely to exchange as you put it "massive numbers of provinces".
You've not actually shown then that there would be any benefit to having the sequence, only than it would most likely not occur in a bizarre fashion. Given the option of having a scripted peace that could go wrong (although not very frequently) or not having the scripted peace, I'd always opt for the latter.
Unless you're suggesting that the Treaty of Zuhab would simply raise Ottoman/Safavid relations and remove those few extra cores per history. That I could support.

Wouldn't this end with the same trigger conditions problem?Garbon said:
At least description of the two remaining but previous safety events for removing cores could be reworked to mention the treaty. And both events could include a relations increase between OE and Safavids because of this loss.
Does action_c and Sunni religion make sense in following event, especially since Kara Koyunlu is Shiite at start in 1419?
#-#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.
And why 1597 as deathdate when Ismail dies in 1524? Couldn't we improve name and description in order to cover the 1524-1597 period?

I don't have the same enmity to a loss of a few "historically lost" cores. That said, I think you're proposed solution is best.
YodaMaster said:
I think so. Even with our change the Kara Koyunlu religion, it is most definitely not the case that Shia was the predominant religion in the land.
I think the 1597 date has something to do with Abbas's move of the capital to Isfahan and the fact that by that date, Abbas was widely tolerant of religion. There would be much impulse to have the state covert by that point. I suppose we could rename the event name to "The Shia State of the Safavids" but I wouldn't change the description.
