Civil War - a healthy alternative
Instead of having the nation change from Turkey to the Ottoman Empire, you can fire a civil war event to create the Ottoman Empire, then save the game and load as the Ottomans (just like you would do if you wanted to play as Nationalist Spain or Vichy France).
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU OPEN THE
REVOLT FILE AND ADD THE FOLLOWING TO THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE (OTT):
regular_id = TUR
When the civil war event occurs, the Ottoman Empire starts with every single victory point location, so you can annex the loyalist Turks straightout.
A few notes:
1) These are two separate events. The first event is the Atatürk death event, and things to edit are put in bold. The second event is completely added, so none of it is in bold.
2) I made the Atatürk death event give the option for whether you wish to go democratic as usual or stage an Ottoman coup. The second option has exactly the same effects as the first option, only then it creates the Ottomans.
3) Note that the second event can have any ID number you need it to.
4) Also note that the second event moves the Ottoman capital to Istanbul, and it sleeps Mustafa Kemal (who is really Atatürk) as the Chief of Army, considering he did just die and all.
If you check the minister files, you'll see that
Mustafa Ismet Pasha (or something; "Pasha" is a political title) is one of the Ottoman Empire ministers. Mustafa Ismet Pasha is the same person as
Ismet Inönü, who would usually become the new Turkish president. This is also the same person as
Mustafa Ismet, who has been the Head of Government while Atatürk was still around. It's really confusing because these different names for the same person also use different pictures for him! Anyway... I decided ol' Ismet was worth keeping around as an Ottoman minister, so I didn't sleep him.
5) Until the second event fires, the Ottoman Empire will have a Communist government. I made the slider changes mimic the government Bulgaria starts with in 1936, except for the slider settings you had already specified in an earlier post.
6) I added a 30 dissent hit, just like the Soviets suffer if they decide not to do the Officer Purge. I figure you should be punished for maintaining a dictatorship and gaining so many core provinces, but it's up to you whether you keep this or not.
7) You asked for suggestions on relationship effects, so I put comment #s on most of the ones below, explaining why I chose them. They are, as anything else on here, completely adaptable. The way it is now, most nations will be upset by your political maneuverings and ambition.
Feel free to touch it up to your specific preferences!
