Vinland Scenario Events (Code Only Please)

[unmerged(8451)]

Just thought it would be a better idea to have a seperate thread for the events, as the main Vinland thread gets alot of posts and the events will be buried after awhile. Here they can be kept neat and organized.

Comments are still welcome, but to keep this thread for events only please post comments and suggestions in the main thread.

The effects in this event were taken from a similar China event, and as such are not appropriate to Vinland standards. So it will need to be tweaked significantly...

Unlike his father however, Þorvaldr was not content in leaving the kingdom to it's current boundaries. At the tender age of 7, his father brought him to the Oracle that lived in a cave atop a hill overlooking the capital. The old crone foretold that the young Þorvaldr would be killed by a 'feather of stone'. Þorvaldr of course, due to his high level of education, did not believe in prophecies. His father always warned him to stay close to home in order to avoid the prophecy, but will he listen?"

These sorts of debates were meant to remain in the main thread so that this one could remain purely code.

Oh well, I should have known the purity wouldn't last...

desc = "Legend tells us that the young Einarr was abandoned in the wilderness at a very young age. However, he survived, due to the fact that he was discovered by a Skraeling hunting party. The tribal Shaman knew that the young Einarr would rise to great power one day, he informed the chieftain of this. The chieftain, who himself was very old and had no heir, raised the boy as his own, in order that he may succeed him. Young Einarr soon proved himself to be an excellent hunter. His Skraeling wife complained about how he spent more time in the wilderness than he did in his own home. One day while Einarr was gone hunting, the nearby -fill in space here- tribe, struck out against Einarr's tribe. When Einarr returned, the entire village had been destroyed, all were dead except the shaman, who had been tied to a tree to be eaten alive by wild animals. Einarr freed the shaman, and together they set out in search of Einarr's real people.... Eventually, Einarr returned to Vinland, where at this time there was no king, the Queen had passed away heirless. Many believed the white man who dressed like a Skraeling was preordained by the gods to be their new ruler. Many, however, diagreed, so an election was held. Einarr eventually won, and set about ruling Vinland with all the skills he had been taught by the old Chieftain. He appointed the shaman who had travelled with him as the head of spiritual matters in Vinland. Many, however, disapproved of the adoption of Skraeling beliefs..."

Immediately after his father's death, Þorvaldr established a more outward expansionist policy, he himself led several expeditions into the uncharted wilderness and founded many colonies which to this day still bear his name. On one such expedition he led his warriors into the hostile territory of the -fill in space here- tribe. Relying on false information provided to him by his traitorous Skraeling guides, Þorvaldr was fooled into believing that this part of the forest was outside of the hostile tribe's territory. Indeed, he had been led into the heartland, where tribal warriors waited, anticipating his arrival.... A fierce battle ensued, and despite being greatly outnumbered, the Vinlanders superior weaponry and bravery eventually allowed them to claim victory. Though, in the heat of battle a Skraeling arrow had punctured the lung of king Þorvaldr, he later died during his journey back to the capital. With no male heir apparent, his grief stricken young wife assumed the throne (a rare situation in the history of Vinland). She was a very capable ruler, having often ruled in her husband's absence during his expeditions. But her thirst for revenge now blights her judgement...."

However, during the long reign of Einarr, there grew a minority cult of followers who opposed this decision... Years later, misfortune would catch up to Þorgils. In 1499 while he was hunting in the royal hunting grounds, assassins of the Einarr cult ambushed the elderly Þorgils. The old man was alone, and was too feeble to fend off the attack. Apparently, his royal guards took the day off, as it was a national holiday. If it had been any other day, it is likely his guards could have saved him. This is why in death, Þorgils will always be remembered as 'ógæfa' (the unlucky)."

The Micmac, closest tribe to vinland, have gone to war against their heriditary foes the Huron over the recent death of a nephew of the grand chief at the hands of a huron warrrior. The Micmac grand chief has himself personally sent messengers bearing gifts and tribute to Bjarni to request aid and indeed support for their actions against the Huron. Bjarni, predictably, is remaining cautious of such a committment for it would endanger his own lands to leave them so unprotected, however support for either tribe could and would most likely have lasting impact for vinland in years to come especially with any tribe he supported. Relations with neighbouring Micmacs had up until now been strong and well developed as the two depended on each other for trade, and Bjarni considered how damaging relations could be if he did not support them over the unknown and apparently warlike Huron...

Here is an event I created to decide which of the wings will win in the election, and who becomes the new king of Vinland after the death of the heirless widow Queen.

It definitely will need more work:

event = {

random = no

name = "The Widow Queen Dies Heirless"
desc = "Even as the Queen lay dying in her bed, Vinland's Althing had gathered to debate who would succeed her at the throne. The decision was made that all citizens in Vinland would be allowed to participate in an election. It was an experiment in old democratic concepts that would be applied on this continent for the very first time. A controversial decision in this election, was to allow Skraelings to vote, the only condition being that the Skraelings were official citizens of Vinland, and had renounced any tribal ties. Any candidate was free to run in this election, so long as they were of complete Norse heritage. Many candidates entered the election, but it seemed that no one candidate had enough votes to become king, so a runoff was held between the three most popular candidates. Kolbeinn Hinn Gamli, a wealthy merchant, who happened to be the wealthiest man in Vinland, seemed to be the most likely to win, having recieved 42% of the votes in the first round. However, Einarr øxnamegin, a commanding officer in the Vinland army, and a skilled woodsman. With his hard line approach to the Skraelings, he seemed to be most popular with the settlers along the frontiers, who felt uneasy due to the recent wars waged by the Queen. He came in a close second place with 38% of the vote in the first round. Finally, the third candidate, who goes by the name of -fill in space here- came in a distant third with 11% of the vote. He was a very mysterious character who was rumored to have been raised by Skraelings. He and his shaman friend came out of the forest one day with many wild and fantastic stories. Some believe, as his shaman friend says, that he is preordained for greatness, others believe he is crazy... In any case, he seems to draw most of his votes from the minority Skraeling citizens, and a few drunks and lunatics. Now it is up to you, the voter, to decide which of these three will become the new king of Vinland...."

The demands of his people were high, but he managed to advise the strong need to defend the lands of the Micmac very well, especially from other tribes and other aggressors from across the sea. His laws, although very basic, detailed the importance of ensuring most able bodied men were ready to fight if called upon. His law precipitated a massive increase in the amount of men at his disposal."
