The Mughal leader Aurangzeb (1660 -14 March 1707) is a general but during that time he was a monarch. Is this intentional?

In leaders.ayu you have this:
Why is there a dormant = yes and a dormant = no in the same leader?
In the Ayutthaya event file you have:

#-#Despite their overwhelming victory, the Burmese didn't retain control of Siam for long. Attacks on Burma's northern borders compelled the Burmese to withdraw most of their forces, and Thai tenacity in rebounding from setback combined to shorten the period of Burmese domination. Giving meaning to an ancient proverb that 'Ayutthaya never lacks good men', a young general named Phya Tak Sin gathered a small band of followers during the final Burmese siege of the Thai capital. He recognized the hoplessness of the Siamese situation under the effete King and his decadent entourage. So instead of waiting for the holocaust to envelop the city, he and his comrades broke through the Burmese encirclement and escaped to Chanthaburi, on the southeast coast of the Gulf of Thailand. There, Phya Tak Sin assembled an army and navy. Seven months after the fall of Ayutthaya, the general and his forces sailed back to the capital and expelled the Burmese occupiers.

You're right, probably a mistaken copy over from the pre-monarch Aurangzeb leader entry.
Should be the following:
Code:
historicalleader = {
id = { type = 6 id = 090311 }
category = [color=red]general[/color] [color=yellow]monarch[/color]
name = "Aurangzeb"
startdate = {
year = 1660
}
deathdate = {
day = 14
month = march
year = 1707
}
rank = 0
movement = 4
fire = 3
shock = 5
siege = 2
dormant = no
}Apparently this one has been copied over the vanilla Nguyen Hue
Code:
historicalleader = {
id = { type = 6 id = 040805 }
category = [COLOR="Red"]general[/COLOR] [COLOR="Yellow"]monarch[/COLOR]
name = "Quang Trung"
startdate = {
year = 1788
}
deathdate = {
day = 1
month = june
year = 1792
}
rank = 0
movement = 5
fire = 3
shock = 5
siege = 1
dormant = no
remark = "Emperor of Dai Viet; routed Chinese invaders"
}EDIT: For consistency's sake:
Code:
historicalmonarch = {
id = { type = 6 id = 040530 }
startdate = {
day = 15
month = september
year = 1788
}
deathdate = {
day = 1
month = june
year = 1792
}
name = "[COLOR="Red"]Nguyen Hue[/COLOR]" "[COLOR="Yellow"]Quang Trung[/COLOR]"
DIP = 8
ADM = 5
MIL = 8
dormant = no
}Or should both of these be put to Nguyen Hue, his original name? I also put Quang Trung's deathdate as a leader to 1st of June 1792, his deathdate as monarch.
Furthermore, should his ADM be increased to 7 or 8? From what I understand, he introduced some reforms like adopting the old administration of the Le dynasty and trying to reduce the influence of the Chinese script. Quite successfully, though less so in the latter. Perhaps his diplomatic rating should be reduced to 6? He wasn't exactly popular in all of "Vietnam", since the Lê dynasty was seen as the legitimate dynasty and the Tây Sơn as usurpers. However, he tried to keep friendly relations with the Qing which IMHO earns him a 6 at least.
Ah, well, I'm going beyond bugfixing.

trying to correct my own descriptions... just the very badly written as for now...
EVENTHIST125036;Under the Will of Maria Theresia's grandfather under which her father Karl took the throne, the Elector of Bavaria would have had the legal claim to all of the Austrian domains in the Empire. Upon the death of Maria's father, Duke Karl Albert of Bavaria would have been elected Emperor and proclaimed Archduke of Austria and King of Bohemia where he had a claim there through both the will of Leopold of Austria and a treaty with the House of Habsburg stipulated in the 16th century.;;;;;;;;;;
to be modified with these new lines:
EVENTHIST125036;According to the Will of Joseph, Maria Theresia's grandfather, under which his son and Maria Theresia's father Karl took the throne, the Elector of Bavaria would have the legal claim to all of the Austrian domains in the Empire (as per the Salic Law which precluded royal inheritance by a woman). So, upon the death of Karl II of Habsburg, Karl Albert of Wittelsbach should have been elected Emperor and legitimatedly proclaimed Archduke of Austria and King of Bohemia. In facts, even in Bohemia he had a claim through a treaty stipulated with the House of Habsburg in the 16th century, successively confirmed by Leopold of Austria.;;;;;;;;;;
I hope it'll be easier to understand.

Thanks for making this great mod!
I'm playing AGCEEP 157 (EUII 1.09). I'm playing Poland. Each time the game hits event 3290 (3291) the game crashes, but only after I mouse over the 'Agree to .... ' choice. Since there seems to be A LOT of text in the mouseover popup, I suspect that this is the reason.
I did a search on this event (that's how I found out the event number). I also came up with this in the 'history.txt' file

Welcome to the forums, sorry for the late reply but Yoda is currently very busy because of this.
I think it has more to do with the vassal command in POL_3470 A directed towards a tag (KUR) just created by the country command in LIV_3620 A. 3290 and 3291 are Danish events and I don't think they are involved in the CTD because the history log you provided shows that 3290 fired just fine.
I'll see what I can find tomorrow as the hour is just too late now. Hope you're still hanging there by the way.

First post in a very long time... well, I thought I'd avoid making to big of a fuss over it, but for the record, I've finally (after more than three years) gone back to playing EU2 with the AGCEEP, which also inevitably means thinking about what to do for the mod again. For now, just a small thing I noticed about an event description (that iirc I wrote myself o); I hope I'll make more substantial remarks and suggestions again soon, but you have to start somewhere, and I thought I'd try a few games with the mod in its current state (which seems a lot improved since when I left it) before putting my foot in my mouth with silly ideas that have already been adressed
So, here goes my little bug report:
In the Sale of Neumark events (LAT_209000 and BRA_132101), the desc mentions days and months on which things actually happened, but not the years, which I think is rather confusing.
Suggested changes are bold.
This would be the simple solution. Since the event can (and usually does) trigger long before 1454, it might be nicer to have a more generic text in addition to an explanation when this actually happened - something like this:

Code:
EVENTHIST209000;The Neumark, originally the part of Brandenburg east of the Oder
river, had been mortgaged to the Teutonic Order by Emperor Sigismund in 1402. In
the desperate financial, political and military situation caused by the uprising of the Prussian
Lizard League and the intervention of Casimir of Poland in favour of the rebels [b]in 1454[/b],
the Order decided it would be better to sell Neumark back to the Elector of Brandenburg in order
to gain some money and his support than to loose the territory to the Polish King who was
obviously attracted by the opportunity to restore the Oder as border with Germany. Thus on
February 22nd [b]1454[/b] emissaries of the Order offered the territory to Friedrich II for 40000

Since most of the dates happen in 1454, why is it really necessary to include those dates? I think the original text is intelligible without them.
The "problem" (no big deal, really) is that the original text doesn't include any date, so when the event happens early in the game - which it often does (in my Brandenburg game, it triggered in 1420; whether it should be considered to either change the sequence's conditions so it doesn't fire so early or to prevent the Teutons from losing a war to Poland in the first years of almost any game, which is basically the current event condition, is a different - and quite reasonable - question, but nothing to be discussed in the bug thread) - you can't really tell from the description when the cession happened historically, which at least I would consider of interest (in fact, me wondering in what year exactly this happened after reading the event's text is what made me think of changing this in the first place
).For clarification: the event can fire anytime after 1419 if the Teutons are at war with Poland, any of their core provinces is under enemy control and they don't own more than 7 provinces.
I think generally we either include dates (especially if we think the events will fire near their historical dates) or if the event is more general, we don't. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to have generic even text and then a summary of what happened historically (yellow and red highlighted parts respectively).

Well, now that you mention it, I didn't want to start a discussion on general standards regarding descriptions in the bug thread; for now it certainly would be better for the moment to stick to the current standards, so the yellow text should be just fine.
For what it's worth, however, I'd prefer adding historical information to generic descs - it's always nice to learn (or recall, as for me in this case
).Btw, thanks for reformatting my horribly unreadable post; it seems I have quite a bit of catching up to do
