Spain's inheritance after Carsos II dies ...

[jpd]

Hi,

Anyone who has played Castile/Spain in a GC knows that around 1700 your (rather lousy) king Carlos II dies.

You get a scripted historical event, stating that Carlos II has no heirs to the throne, and that both France and Austria had legitemate claims. You get two choices, either become a vassal of France or Austria.

Well, In the previous GC I chose the historical option of France, so I decided to go with Austria this time (I couldn't see the rollover hints with the effects, because I had just requested to build something and the confirmation dialog was up when this event triggered. When this happens, the rollover hints don't show, but that is a different matter). Anyway, I got a huge stability hit (like -8 or so), but luckily no revolts. That must have been a side effect of the confirmation dialog box still open, I guess.

Immediately after that, I got two kings on the same date, first Carlost III, followed immediately by Felipe V. This reminded me of the death date mixup of two French Henry kings Somehow, I think that one of those kings shouldn't have been activated.

Felipe V is the French one inderdeed so this sounds buggy

This is the same problem that some Swedish events have... they wake the new monarchs, but the don't sleep the old ones. This leads to conflicts, as whomever gets on the throne last wins.

I see we're already in the bug forum...

Okay, so here is the event:

The Succession of Carlos II in Spain#
event = {

	id = 3173
	random = no
	country = SPA
	name = "EVENTNAME3173"
	desc = "EVENTHIST3173"
	style = 4

	date = { day = 1 month = november year = 1700 }
	offset = 41
	deathdate = { day = 2 month = november year = 1700 }

	action_a ={
		name = "ACTIONNAME3173A"	#Felipe of Bourbon#
		command = { type = trigger which = 3199 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3130 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3035 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3511 }
		command = { type = stability value = 2 }
		command = { type = dynastic which = FRA }
		command = { type = alliance which = FRA }
		command = { type = relation which = FRA value = 150 }
		command = { type = relation which = HAB value = -150 }
	}

	action_b ={
		name = "ACTIONNAME3173B"	#Carlos of Habsburg#
		command = { type = trigger which = 3200 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3131 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3036 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3512 }
		command = { type = stability value = -1 }
		command = { type = dynastic which = HAB }
		command = { type = alliance which = HAB }
		command = { type = relation which = HAB value = 150 }
		command = { type = relation which = FRA value = -150 }
		#Habsburg Dynasty#
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04151 }
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04152 }
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04153 }
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04154 }
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04155 }
	}


}

So, first, we need to sleep the offending monarchs.

Secondly, there's a problem in that Felipe V can ascend to the throne before this event triggers, because the offset is 41 for some reason. (The deathdate just prevents the trigger check I think.)

So, here's my proposed solution:

The Succession of Carlos II in Spain#
event = {

	id = 3173
	random = no
	country = SPA
	name = "EVENTNAME3173"
	desc = "EVENTHIST3173"
	style = 4

	date = { day = 1 month = november year = 1700 }

	action_a ={
		name = "ACTIONNAME3173A"	#Felipe of Bourbon#
		command = { type = trigger which = 3199 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3130 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3035 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3511 }
		command = { type = stability value = 2 }
		command = { type = dynastic which = FRA }
		command = { type = alliance which = FRA }
		command = { type = relation which = FRA value = 150 }
		command = { type = relation which = HAB value = -150 }
	}

	action_b ={
		name = "ACTIONNAME3173B"	#Carlos of Habsburg#
		command = { type = trigger which = 3200 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3131 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3036 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3512 }
		command = { type = stability value = -1 }
		command = { type = dynastic which = HAB }
		command = { type = alliance which = HAB }
		command = { type = relation which = HAB value = 150 }
		command = { type = relation which = FRA value = -150 }
		#Habsburg Dynasty#
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04151 }
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04152 }
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04153 }
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04154 }
		command = { type = wakemonarch which = 04155 }
		#Sleep the other monarchs#
		command = { type = sleepmonarch which = 04146 }
		command = { type = sleepmonarch which = 04147 }
		command = { type = sleepmonarch which = 04148 }
		command = { type = sleepmonarch which = 04149 }
		command = { type = sleepmonarch which = 04150 }
	}

}

Yes, I ran into this same type of problem when playing as England and choosing between the Stuart dynasty and the Hannoverian dynasty.

This one is fixed in the other thread about this stuff with kurtbrain's splendid help.
