Dutch Independence question

[unmerged(19696)]

Playing 1.07 EEP as England, I've taken out France completely. After the Dutch revolts, the Netherlands is just Holland province. Spain has Zeeland, Gelre is Hessen, Friesland is Danish, and I've got the rest. I've stayed Catholic the whole game (too many French/Scottish/Irish provinces), and I'm now allied with the Netherlands (also Catholic). I get into a war with Spain (Netherlands neutral), and I take Zeeland and Franche Comte.

Instantly I get a Dutch Independence event, forcing me to cede Zeeland to the Netherlands. The date is July 1693. The Dutch revolts are supposed to end in 1648, aren't they? I see no RR for events in the provinces. Can anyone explain?

Which EEP are you using? In either case you shouldn't get that event after 1648. In 1.4 I thought I had fixed the problem of reconquest and then having to cede provinces. Maybe not.

I thought it was the latest version, but it looks like it's 1.4.1.

(and I'd just like to add how much I'm enjoying playing the EEP - wonderful work by everyone involved!)

This is a bug. The event is:

[COLOR=skyblue]
#The Dutch Revolt is successful!#
event = {

	id = 3816
	trigger = {
		exists = HOL
		NOT = {
			religion = protestant
			religion = reformed
		}
		OR = {
			owned = { province = 337 data = -1 }
			owned = { province = 338 data = -1 }
			owned = { province = 339 data = -1 }
			owned = { province = 340 data = -1 }
			owned = { province = 380 data = -1 }
		}
	}
	random = no
	country = FRA
	name = "EVENTNAME3816"
	desc = "EVENTHIST3816"
	style = 2

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1555 }
	offset = 30
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1821 }

     action_a = { # Curses!
         name = "ACTIONNAME3816A"
         command = { type = secedeprovince which = HOL value = 337 }
         command = { type = secedeprovince which = HOL value = 338 }
         command = { type = secedeprovince which = HOL value = 339 }
         command = { type = secedeprovince which = HOL value = 340 }
         command = { type = secedeprovince which = HOL value = 380 }
     }
}

So after 1648 it should be impossible. With 1.4.2 this problem ought to be fixed, at least for the Dutch revolts, because we aren't using this event any more.

So what should be done to fix it? Change 1821 to 1658

Thanks for the help. I'll update my files. Now if I could just get those pesky Dutch to accept vassalization, the problem would solve itself...

Can't delete post. When will this be fixed?

I don't see any reason why that event should fire after 1648. I say change the deathdate.

But it's all done differently in 1.4.2 anyway. And I did think about this in writing the events. Can't remember the exact way it will work off the top of my head.
