Well we now can use breakvassal with -1 (targeting any suzerain), we can just make sure that Ternate ends any vassalage it currently had. Something like the following:

Code:
#(1522-1635) Portuguese vassalization of Ternate
event = {
	id = 308001 #triggered by POR_260078
	random = no
	country = TER
	name = "EVENTNAME260083" #The Portuguese treaty of friendship with Ternate
	desc = "EVENTHIST260078"
	#-#

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME308001A" #This will help regulate trade
		command = { type = relation which = POR value = 175 }
		[color=red]command = { type = breakvassal which = AUV }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = LUW }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = BUT }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = MKS }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = ORI }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = BEI }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = MTR }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = MLC }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = PAL }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = ATJ }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = CHI }
		command = { type = breakvassal which = NIP }[/color]
		[color=yellow]command = { type = breakvassal which = -1 }[/color]
		[color=red]command = { type = trigger which = 260083 } #POR: The Portuguese treaty of friendship with Ternate.[/color]
	}
}

However if it is a vassal *of Portugal* then it makes no sense to first break the vassalage and suffer the consequences to renew it again in another event. Perhaps a condition for that command that Ternate is no vassal of Por?
 
Good call though that'd make more sense back in the initiating Portuguese event.

Code:
#(1522-1635) Portuguese vassalization of Ternate- part 1
event = {
	id = 260078
	trigger = {
		discovered = 713 #Tindore
		exists = TER
		[color=yellow]NOT = {
			vassal = { country = POR country = TER }
			vassal = { country = TER country = POR }
		}[/color]
	}
	random = no
	country = POR
	name = "EVENTNAME260078" #The Portuguese and Ternate
	desc = "EVENTHIST260078"
	#-#

	date = { day = 0 month = may year = 1522 }
	offset = 30
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1635 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME260078A" #This will help us secure the trade of the Mollucas
		command = { type = trade value = 200 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 308001 } #TER: The Portuguese treaty of friendship with Ternate
	}
}

In 1522 Antonio de Brito arrived in Ternate, concluded a treaty of friendship with the King, and built a fort for the Portuguese.
 
Good call though that'd make more sense back in the initiating Portuguese event...

Not really. If you check it in the trigger of the POR event then Ternate being a vassal of POR disables both events.
What I meant was to add that condition to the command line for the vassalage only, meaning *if* Ternate would be a vassal of POR then still both events would fire, the player receives the info and the relations are improved - just the existing vassalage is untouched.
 
I don't think that makes sense. If Portugal already has Ternate as a vassal (which will probably only ever happen for a player), I don't see why Portugal should then get the trade boost and relations increase. Antonio de Brito arrival doesn't really mean the same thing in such a situation as instead you're looking at a world where Portugal already built that fort. Why would they get more income or relations bump for a fort they already had?
 
Well actually doesn't seem like it would need a safety event. The Portuguese could have an event that has a trigger that the Ternate event fired (rather than having the Ternate event directly trigger the Portuguese one). Updated post 132 with proposed fix.

Okay, well let me know if you'd like me to test anything as I have existing Portugal save files for a few months before and after the event(s), so would be easy enough to run a test


I think the Dutch event should be fine as it ends in an inheritance instead (though maybe it should now be annexation).

What are the different implications for inheritance/annexation now regarding stab hits and/or badboy and other effects (e.g. reputation loss)?

BTW has the possible Spanish vassalisation of Portugal event sequence been fully tested for robustness - in my current game I've obviously not gone that route, but is something I could test, if need be (though as I'm already in an alliance with Spain and not vassalised by someone else it might not be the best test...).

I think I'd agree with Garbon here...
 
What about a colonial war in Brasil against a free slaves kingdom? : The Quilobo dos Palmares(it wasn't big enough for a TAG , but for a event )

Against what did they revolt?
Only against POR? Or against anyone holding slaves - e.g. SPA that expanded there or BRA that was released earlier?

What about a POR that goes full "free subjects" on the sliders? Would the revolt then happen too or should a trigger be added with the condition that a certain amount of oppression is needed for it?
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...his-week-s-debate-Free-Subjects-versus-Serdom

Where do the 1000 population come from? Shouldn´t they be lowered in one of the other provinces from where they fled?

What about an enddate of 20.11.1695 (Zumbis execution) to nullify the provincial revoltrisk again?

There isnt a country that banned the slavery until the XIX century(the free subjets is about free peasents no free slaves)... The slaves revolt against any country with slaves , Portugal ,The netherlands or any other...
About the increase in population : can be ignored ,The date of Zumbi execution is better that the fall of Palmares:
date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1694 }
offset = 15
deathdate = { day = 20 month = november year = 1695 }#Zumbi ejecution
 
There isnt a country that banned the slavery until the XIX century(the free subjets is about free peasents no free slaves)... The slaves revolt against any country with slaves , Portugal ,The netherlands or any other...

So it should better be a provincespecific event for ANY country and not an event only for PORtugal?

A change in the event of Ravasco atacks Zanzibar:

	#-#In 1503 Ruy Lourenco Ravasco was separated from the 1503 fleet led by Antonio da Saldanha to blockade the Red Sea. He took refuge in Kilwa where he was well-treated, but then he seized 20 ships in the Straits of Zanzibar during a two month patrol, but he freed them if a cash ransom was paid. When he sailed to Zanzibar to resupply he attempted to overawe the locals. After a brief skirmish on one of the beaches its sheik agreed to pay tribute to Portugal. This was done under unwillingly and only one other payment was made until the Portuguese conquered Mombasa in 1598 and became a much more imminent threat. Despite its ill-treatment at the hands of Ravasco, Zanzibar remained friendly with the Portuguese until they were occupied by the Omanis nearly two centuries later.

}
The case is that Zanzibar was part of the portuguese empire (a vassal) until the omanese atack in the XVII century. And there was a fort in Pemba island(not in the map) near Zanzibar...

I propose a change in this spanish monarchs(based in EUIII datafiles, the originals are very low with good kings like Carlos III and very high with the worst king of Spain Fernando VII ) :
Code:

historicalmonarch = {

}
 
Is it intentinonal that Bahrain is no Treaty of Tordesillas core for Portugal or was it left out accidentally?

If the the latter then I suggest to add province 509 to the POR ToT list

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain#Portuguese_control

Code:
	POR = {
		183 #Amapa
		195 #Mato Grosso
		196 #Goias
		197 #Caracas
		198 #Marajo
		199 #Para
		200 #Tiracambu
		201 #Maranhao
		202 #Parnaiba
		203 #Recife
		204 #Iguatu
		205 #Pernambuc
		206 #Alagoas
		207 #Diamentina
		208 #Minas Gerais
		209 #Salvador
		210 #Itaimas
		211 #Niteroi
		212 #Araxa
		213 #Curitiba
		214 #Cangucu
		215 #Uruguay
		504 #Mascate
		505 #Al Kharam
