United States of America Events and Leaders

[EmprorCoopinius]

Hi. I was browsing this forum, and wanted to drop a line with a few suggestions.

1. A Nullification Crisis event. This would allow a South Carolina revolter (with maybe a couple of North Carolinian provinces) and could lead to the founding of the CSA in the 1830's. Jackson didn't simply invade SC becuaee that would have enraged the Southern states, and in the 1830's the US would have had no hope of defeating a CSA. The CSA formed by this event would of course be smaller than a Civil War CS (no Texas, maybe just the Carolinas and Georgia really). Just a thought.

2. Reading the Appomattox event, it appears that the US will always be able to reabsorb the CSA, even if they've lost the war handily. This is probably due to my ignorance when it comes to reading events, but I think this one should be dropped if it just arbitrarly ends the War and destroys the CSA.


As you can probably tell, I'm eagerly awaiting the day I can play
some Europa as the Rebels. Good luck all, and thanks for listening.

P.S. - Yes, I am aware I mangled arbitrarily...maybe this is the real way to spell it.

1. I've already made one. Check out one of the first few pages. BTW, to save tags, the revolter for the event is the CSA, not South Carolina.
2. That's not true.

How bout if you choose action b, it makes an independent Cherokee nation?

 

[unmerged(1196)]

Well, if anything the status quo was an independent Cherokee nation. If one didn't exist before the event, why should one exist after the event?

So the Cherokee Nation was really part of the U.S?

 

[unmerged(1196)]

No...

I'm saying that there was an independent Cherokee state before the Indian Removal Act. In AoN, we've abstracted the situation to the Cherokees being under US authority because of the province divisions. So why change the situation since they certainly wouldn't gain any autonomy.

 

[GreatWarrior]

oh man this post is long i have no time to read the thing but I have a suggestion (if it hasn't been sugested yet)

When the Irish came to America event it should drop USA's stability or something, Americans weren't happy the Irish came over because they were catholic... and the Irish were hated for a longggggg time.

 

[unmerged(2907)]

Not sure if this is already in, but I can't be bothered to wade through 15 pages of posts, but is there an event simulating the creation of Liberia?

 

[Vulture]

Yes there is

The land was settled by 40,000 freedmen, who raised the rallying cry of "40 acres and a mule." Several months later, the special order was countermanded by the President, Andrew Johnson, and the freedmen were forced to be enserfed to their former masters.;;;;;;;;;;X

I've been trying to labor through the events on the last 16 pp, but can't keep everything straight. Is there a master list of just the headings/titles of the events that have been made? I've got some ideas but don't want them to be duplicative.

Ah SO very happy to hear that!

 

[unmerged(8017)]

There is one thing that needs to be represented during the secession of the Confederate States of America. I think it was during the last secession, that Maryland was put under marshal law because the government had choose to hold a state vote as to weather or not to secede and it was thought that they would have done so. So I say we make an event for the USA where they have to choose weather or not to put Maryland under marshal law to stop the vote. Of course I just thought about the fact that I believe in game terms most of what is Maryland will be the capital of the USA so I do not know if there is really a way to portray this unless you give the capital a revoltrisk if they do not declare marshal law...

 

[Justin]

I have an Idea for the United States during the Civil War. If The United States gets the war extremley botched have the New England States Seceed and form thier own nation. That would be a very interesting event.

Cool event, but why would assiting the freemen in any way and not kicking them off the land they just took cause such massive revolts?

cropped for easier readablity...

I am curious, how does freeing the slaves reduce the income of some many provinces. Yes they wouldn't have to work in the fields anymore, but now they are free to get other jobs and be paid for it, contributing to the tax system. free people are always more productive then slaves, shouldn't we show that?

Cropped for easier read...

I agree with the revolt increase, I just dunno if it should be that high. After all the South was pretty mucgh defeated and demoralixed. No real rebillions ever broke out. Just my opinion.

It doesn't...

The event on the thread increases the tax value on all provinces affected ("which = -1" means "target a random province")...

The current 13th Amendment event increases tax values in all provinces except those in Texas, where tax values are decreased, primarily because of the huge supply of land in the state.

I agree with the revolt increase, I just dunno if it should be that high.

I don't consider 5 very high. Provided the US doesn't get into any stability/war exhaustion problems, it shouldn't have any revolts...

Cool event, but why would assiting the freemen in any way and not kicking them off the land they just took cause such massive revolts?

Basically, because the government was siezing plantation owners' lands and giving them to their former slaves; the government was giving blacks freedom in fact instead of only nominally. If this were anything but a temporary war time measure, it would have exceptionally severe consequences for the American government...

Maybe I'm exaggerating the consequences, but I have no doubt that they would be extraordinarily bad.

I have an Idea for the United States during the Civil War. If The United States gets the war extremley botched have the New England States Seceed and form thier own nation. That would be a very interesting event.

Which has no historical basis...

I think it was during the last secession, that Maryland was put under marshal law because the government had choose to hold a state vote as to weather or not to secede and it was thought that they would have done so.

That's a good idea, but the main reason why I haven't made that event is that increased revolt risks in DC would only hurt the CSA since there's a good chance that it would try taking the province, and I don't want them to continually fight off revolts there...

I'm sorry, I just went back and looked, and yes you are correct. I just read it wrong, must of been tired or something Seeing the -1 before and not the 1 after the taxincome for effect on tax income. Now that I see what you really met (I should of known better since I've written events before), I really like the event and its resukts
