the colour u r using is pretty hard to read (i need to highlight it so it becomes easier to read) could u change to some better colour next time (like silver or firebrick etc)?
comments:
is the bracket in front of the id a mistake? plus, whats the sleepevent command for (they r sleeping themselves)?
lastly,
and most importantly, is the triggers and relating the "loss" events with the "gain" events. if we are making a set of events for minors to gain the CHI tag and another set of events for CHI to lose back into a minor, they must
not be completely separate and unrelated. if we do not link them with triggers severe problems will arise that will make the situation a complete mess. Some countries may not fall below the trigger for losing the tag when another country has already met the trigger for gaining the tag, therefore there could be multiple countries trying to occupy the CHI tag, making "gain" events fire but completely ineffectively, wasting the limited chances to gain the tag. also, some countries may fall below the losing trigger when no other country has met the trigger to gain the tag, therefore there could be no country who occupy the CHI for long periods of time.
Taking the triggers as they currently are as an example, the first situation will arise if Manchuria successfully conquered most of China, and gains the CHI tag, but then was beaten back by a minor such that the minor controlled the mandatory provinces. the event should fire for the minor to gain the tag. But Manchuria might still have control of more than 12 provinces outside central China, so it does not lose the tag while the event for the minor to gain the tag is firing. since the gain event for the minor has fired (ineffectively), if the minor then loses control of a few provinces (<12), the loss event for the minor could very well fire (loss of legitimacy occurring there was no effective legitimacy to start with). Worse still, if the minor then again gains back those 2 or 3 provinces lost, the 2nd event to gain the tag will again fire ineffectively. all the chances to gain the tag will then be wasted without ever gaining the tag. The second situation is even more common. a minor gains control of central China and the tag, but then was reduced to less than 12 provinces (lost the tag) with different minors controlling central China (noone gains the tag). that situation might continue for a long time.
in addition, there is the historical issue. there should always be one and only one dynasty recognised as legitimate. once recognised as legitimate, its status is solid and supreme, should be very hard to displace. to avoid all the mess, i suggest either impose triggers in the loss events only or in the gain events only. imposing in the loss events only is the most convenient, since the the CHI tag need to be displaced first anyhow. so the trigger for losing the tag should be as follows:
Code:
[color=silver]
trigger = {
OR = {
AND = {
control = { province = 649 data = MCH }
control = { province = 650 data = MCH }
control = { province = 651 data = MCH }
control = { province = 652 data = MCH }
control = { province = 653 data = MCH }
control = { province = 654 data = MCH }
control = { province = 655 data = MCH }
control = { province = 1562 data = MCH }
control = { province = 1563 data = MCH }
control = { province = 1564 data = MCH }
control = { province = 1565 data = MCH }
control = { province = 1567 data = MCH }
AND = {
control = { province = 649 data = U11 }
control = { province = 650 data = U11 }
control = { province = 651 data = U11 }
control = { province = 652 data = U11 }
control = { province = 653 data = U11 }
control = { province = 654 data = U11 }
control = { province = 655 data = U11 }
control = { province = 1562 data = U11 }
control = { province = 1563 data = U11 }
control = { province = 1564 data = U11 }
control = { province = 1565 data = U11 }
control = { province = 1567 data = U11 }
AND = {

#continue this trigger pattern (control of cenrtral China provinces)
for all other minors U12, U13, etc, (of course, except the one u
are going to be displaced to). it will be a large trigger. in this
case, a countrysize trigger should not be used. if used, it should
be very lenient, like countrysize less than 20 provinces. a stability
trigger would also be good, but also should be lenient, like
stability is less than 2. then, of course, add in the trigger that the
event of the previous gaining event for the minor has happened
(except for the first loss event when Ming fell).
#the triggers for the gain events then, will only need to be that
the minor has gained control of all mandatory provinces, plus,
most importantly, any one of the fall events for the other minors
as happened. any other trigger should not be added. this way, a
gain event will always happen immediately after a fall event has
happened, because it is always assessed by one critieria.
#there should also be an event made in case CHI is eliminated
but no minor has met the criteria. we could think about the
triggers for that later.[/color]
the most desirable trigger for tag switching to occur is actually to impose a time delay after the minor controlled central China. so the minor must control central China for a set period to displace the tag, which i dunno if it's possible. actually, it might be possible thru the combination of using date, offset and the year trigger, but thats very complicated and revolutionary, i will try and find out more about that.
