What is possible

[Belissarius]

Is it possible to create events that are triggered by RMs?
If there is a monarch change whith a nation that you have a RM with then there is a slight chance (a very, very slight chance) that you have a claim to the throne, or it makes them your vassal. Or you inherit the whole nation, perhaps You find yourself in a war over inheratence. for the I mean for all RMs.

Also can you create a sequence of events that happen after you have a vassel for 8 years that determine relationship and that add penalties and bonuses to your chance to annex? What I'm driving at is it possible to make pol-annexing harder and when you gain the provences you have the proplem with unhappy nobles. Assuming that you brided the vassals nobles with money and possitions your home grown nobles may be upset that these gifts should have gone to the 'home grown' nobles. The principle is that your choices

The event triggers can check if X and Y have a royal marriage, are in an alliance, one is a vassal of the other, are at war with each other, etc.

You can also set it to check if a certain monarch or leader is alive/active.

You could combine the triggers, and then write an event as you please.

As far as I know, there is no way to make triggers time dependent (e.g. X & Y have been vassals for 8 years)

As far as relations affecting the chances of successful political annexation, isn't that already the case? You can not even try if your relations are poor (below 190? 180?).

dynastic = { country = aaa country = bbb )

Checks if aaa and bbb have a royal marriage.

You will have to script events for all possible combinations of countries though...

Time-triggered events like this are (unfortunately) not possible

i have been unclear in my post

I dont like the way the game handles RM or Vassal/annexing

If you have a RM and a monarch dies and has no heirs then there should be a chance for one of the following events to show up (not a single event with these choices)
Nothing happens
struggle for the throne - you have a claim to the throne but are opposed
the nation becomes a vassal
the nation becomes part of your country
(these examples should be very very rare)

As for vassals I mean that for every vassal a series of events pop up that ask you how you treat the vassal. Each event can effect your relationship, income from the vassal, the chance to annex them in the future. Also these choices should have effects on the home front increase revolt risk or decrease revolt risks, effect dp settings

I know that events can be crafted for a specific vassalship but can events be crafted that pop up for all vassalships in the game?

It is possible to script specific events for specific countries at the death of specific monerchs. Not very flexible I'm afraid...

Nope.

From the EEP point of view I believe the goal should be to capture all of the historic examples where this happened with events. Do you have any examples in mind?

look at all the inheritance events in the game those are my presedence. Why then cant it happen with any RM where a monarch dies without an heir? The key is to create a dynamic that treats all RMs as equal. Dynastic alliances/RM are often the means that monarchs had claims to a foriegn throne. I'm just asking if its possible to script things so that ahistorical RM (ie RMs that exist in the game but there was no RM in history) an example is a RM with Papal states and Byzantium in 1419. aaaaAs far as i have been able to find out that never happen but it can happen in the game. since it can happen in the game then There should be a chance that this could give you a claim to the throne if the monarch dies without a direct heir.

The answer to that is no - there is no such dynamic in the event engine system.
