Ahh hell with it, I'll just chuck some in I'll add them sort of at the same rate and level as Ottoman leaders to keep some historical feel for the area.

You won't really find any Greek janissaries MKJ, Ottomans rarely (if at all) used the devshirme system in areas predominantly populated by Greeks---they weren't really seen fit for elite service (I'm not supporting this claim, just pointing out to their line of thinking at the time.) Hopefully Angelos can help here, but I'm pretty sure Greek highschool history textbooks would contradict this Ministries of Education in Greece and Turkey both are more interested in propoganda rather than facts.

Albanians on the other hand, famous as mercenaries, bandits and overall fierce fighters throughout the Balkans at that time were the prime target for Ottoman officials. Similarly, Serbs, "Bosnians" and Croats were also taken to Istanbul for
re-education in large numbers.

PS: Greeks of Constantinople (Phanariotes) were the ones who rose to -really- high positions within the Empire, ranging from governors to foreign ministers, admirals etc. Some of these positions were even reserved -solely- for Phanariote Greeks (such as the governing of Eflak, the EU provinces of Wallachia)

Actually Thracians would be best any names, service records etc?

Thracian Greek names...from 1450s on? Military leaders? Sure I'll take a look...sadly it was quite common for them to convert (if they weren't janissaries that is, in which case they were raised Muslim anyways) once in Ottoman service. So the names in records are often Turkish.

Angelos might have some names for 15th century rebel leaders perhaps? Or even notable figures in the Despotate of Morea? I'll do my best to come up with something nonetheless.

I believe Morea and Byzantium both get events for the chance that Morea chooses not to retake the Byzantine mantle but still recaptures that area. If I'm incorrect I'll rectify that mistake.

The end of hungary problem is a definite screw-up though :/ thanks for pointing that out to me

I'm pretty sure ONLY Morea has the opportunity to get the event that switches Trabzon, Kaffa and Kerch to Greek Orthodox. The event I listed only uses the U09 tag, not the BYZ tag.

It just seems strange that Morea would have this possibility, but not Byzantium (Roman Empire). I really think you meant to use the BYZ tag and not the U09 tag. There are only two events in the BYZ event file that are for U09 (Morea) and the other one (which appears immediately before the event in question) is for U09 to switch to BYZ. This makes me think it was a simple "cut & paste" error.

Hey MJK, what are those U19 events (87260 & 87261) at the end of the MKJ_Byzantium event file?

I can't find a MKJ1419_u19.inc file for this country. It's not on the revolters list, either. The only place I find it is in the country.csv file. Who is U19?

Also, neither event is random, and 87260 triggers 87261, but I can't find a trigger for 87260. How is it triggered?

Here they are for reference:

event = {
id = 87260
random = no
country = BYZ
name = "The God-Sended leaves for the East"
desc = "He leaves as he came."
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "We shall miss him"
command = { type = independence which = U19 }
command = { type = removecore which = 487 }
command = { type = removecore which = 471 }
command = { type = removecore which = 473 }
command = { type = removecore which = 486 }
command = { type = trigger which = 87261 }
}
}
event = {
id = 87261
random = no
country = U19
name = "Rise of the Saoshyant"
desc = "The Saoshyant had come, the Land of Fire existed once more."
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Forward!"
command = { type = breakvassal which = BYZ }
command = { type = vassal which = BYZ }
command = { type = inherit which = PER }
command = { type = add_countryculture which = persian }
command = { type = add_countryculture which = afghani }
command = { type = add_countryculture which = arabic }
command = { type = add_countryculture which = kurdish }
command = { type = add_countryculture which = baluchi }
}
}

What are they all about? They sound interesting!

 

[Mad King James]

Go read my AAR heh heh

 

[Volrath50]

I was looking in the files and noticed that this minor mistake should be fished:

 #Aid Recieved#
event = {
	id = 91006
	random = no
	country = HUN
	name = "Aid from Austria"
	desc = "While the Habsburgs are unwilling to put
 themselves in harms way for the freedom of Christendom, they
 did send us funds to aid us in our war."
	style = 1
	
	action_a ={
		name = "I suppose this will have to do"
		command = { type = treasury value = 100 }
		command = { type = relation which = [b]SER[/b] value = 50 }
	}
}

That should be changed to HAB.

Don't you just hate when you mess some small thing like that up?

User Defined

MKJ,

I loved v.05, and was away from the EU2 forum for a few days to find you already tossing out v.09 - of course, I installed it. Wonderful!! However, all the Indonesian/Philippine countries as well as the Dutch lack names, ie., are 'User Defined' when you click on them. I really don't want to screw anything up by trying to edit files I have no clue about... will this be fixed in v.10, or is this because I installed on top of v.05?

 

[Mad King James]

I think the moddir failed to load properly, did you run from the shortcut that pops onto your desktop, or from the normal Eu2 icon? Cause you need to run from my GC link to load the moddir correctly.

 

[Szuja]

I used the shortcut, but I figured out my problem, which was (of course ) entirely my fault - the shortcut was running to "europa universalis 2MJK" rather than "...\MKJ" So I fixed it, and now my girlfriend is pissed... I've had EU2 since March, and... well...

 

[Mad King James]

While EU2 is great, nookie is generally better, go take her out for a night on the town before you dive into my GC

Well...I could argue with that....anyway, I wanted to ask where to install this..in the EUII folder??

 

[Mad King James]

Yup! just install into your main eu2 folder and the installer takes care of the rest.

 

[unmerged(1057)]

Hmm...the download went fine, the install also..and the scenario looks good!........but...I got a CTD on July 11th 1428, playing as Holland..any idea what causes it?..

 

[Mad King James]

weird... there's nothing that I know of that could cause that... does it always happen?

Did anything occur right before?

Nothing ocurred, I (Holland) was at peace..a lot of other nations weren´t..I haven´t "peeked" at the events, but I guess there is something that "screws" up on that date..
I can´t say if this is always the case as this was my first try with your scenario..luckily I had yearly saves so I am going back to find out..
