United States of America Events and Leaders

[unmerged(1196)]

We could just as easily add California to the list of priority provinces.

We still preserve history that way.

Some of my events from the other threads...

event = {
id = 27511
trigger = {
date = { day = 7 month = november year = 1860 }
}
random = no
country = USA
name = "Election of 1860"
desc = "This election represents the pivotal fight between the mercantilist North, represented by Lincoln, and feudal South, represented by Brackenridge. Lincoln's victory lead to enormous tariff increases, drastic increases in federal power, substancial subsidies to rail-roads and canal companies, and the final word on the fate of the peculiar institution in the territories. His electoral victory enraged the South, and was a major catalyst for the American Civil War."
style = 5
date = { day = 7 month = november year = 1860 }

action_a ={
name = "Elect Lincoln!"

command = { type = wakemonarch which = ? }

command = { type = domestic which = mercantilism value = 4 }
command = { type = domestic which = centralization value = 2 }

are you doing the american leaders? I need someone to do the monarchs and the leaders... Any volunteers? It will be a little rough since it will depend a little on whether the civil war takes place. If it doesn't, USA should get most of its leaders... at least the major ones... IMO.

 

[unmerged(1196)]

Some, maybe... I've posted all of the election information in the North America thread..

BTW, the only President the US shouldn't get is Wilson if the CSA exists.

YEah, I meant military leaders more for that... I am not so concerned about monarchs, as I think the elected ones should do fine. We arent doing an event for every election, are we?

 

[unmerged(1196)]

I think so...

 

[unmerged(6603)]

hmm... why Other nations who have elected monarchs don't have them.

I wonder if these events aren't forcing history a bit. I agree the emancipation proclaimation should be an event... but some of those scripts about McClellon might be irrelvant. We don't know where the AI will chose to have him fight. Etc.

 

[unmerged(8084)]

I think you should eleminate the stuff about the battle, just have Emanicpation Proclomation event occur based on USA occupying a certain CAS province, then show the event. I don't think the specific battle is important, in game it could be any "Antietam" like battle.

The scripts don't involve McClellan. It only checks whether the capitol (I think it should be in the Deleware province, BTW) is under Union or Confederate control. Presumably, if McClellan (or whomever the player has as the commander for the army of the Potamic) lost at Antietam, DC falls to the CSA.

The US doesn't have to occupy any Confederate province. Its gains in the other theatres were pretty much irrelevant wrt the Emancipation Proclamation. Basically, the Army of the Potamac has to get its ass kicked in its own territory (and DC has to fall, which would be conclusion of such a thing happening, and is something we can actually check) in order for the Emancipation Proclamation to lose its effect.

 

[unmerged(8084)]

Ok, you're right, but maybe some of the wording for the EP could be rewritten so it doesn't fit some battle that doesn't happen in game.
