California Republic

[kurgan62]

I've searched the forums with google on how to get California Republic in 1836.

I'm running VIP:R. I changed the event date for CAL independence to 1836 but I still can't grant statehood as the Mexico or the US (using neville).

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance

Eh, there's prolly a more elegant way to do it, but I'd just add this event and load up as Mexico:

event = {
               id = 111213056
               random = no
               country = MEX  
	trigger = { 
		NOT = { exists = CAL } 
                  }
               name = "Graham's Revolt" #
               desc = "Eureka!"
               style = 0
		date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1836 }
		offset = 0
               action_a = {
		name = "California dreamin..." #
            	ai_chance = 100
		command = { type = independence which = CAL }
		command = { type = relation which = CAL value = -200 }
		command = { type = pop_militancy which = mexican value = -2 }
		command = { type = pop_consciousness which = mexican value = -2 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 132067 } #CAL
	} 
}

Actually, I'd just play Mexico up until normal Cali events fire and just work it in, but this is faster.

Works great but the entire state starts with <10k non-citizens in 1K pop chunks... it will definitely be a challenge.

Well, that's why the good Lord made immigrants. If it's too much of a challenge as is, you can mod your plurality to equality with the US (or 100) and see how it goes. Regardless, let us know.
