An event for Japan and America: The bomb.

[Faeelin]

Is there a way to make an event for the use of atomic weapons against Japan? Historically, they ended the war, yet there is no event. Looking over the event command text, I se no way to make such an event either.

Anyone have any ideas?

It shouldnt be an event as much of a choice for the player. Truman to decide between Operation Olympic(the invasion of Japans main islands) and the Atomic Bomb. We all know what he ended up picking.

I have to agree with Yankee Doodle on this one. Too much scripting just elminates the whole point of the game.

My idea for an event was moe that the Japanse upon being bombed, would have an event whether or not to srrender Teh plyer woul fight on, but the A, asit did historically, would surrender I find such an event fitting within the HO event engine, becauseof he Vichy and Rssian surrender events.

There's no trigger for being nuked though...

But wouldn't having one be really cool, nudge nudge wink wink.

Seriously, we should make the developers aware of things like these. With all the expansions in the game mechanics, I hope over time Johan will be able to put in more things to help modders along.

Perhaps Paradox would be so kind as to make one?

Or do it another way. If three Japanese home islands have an ipc output of 0 or 1, they surrender.

In the mean time you could go with the latter solution Faeelin...

Maybe Paradox will come up with new commands and such later on. Don't know myself.

I think, given the openendedness of HoI's course of events, such an event should be in for any logical target country, namely the majors. What if Germany had suffered two or three bombs? Or the U.S.? The Soviet Union? Italy?
