Considering that the kings of Aragon had good relations with England, I've chosen England. So, here is the set of events if FRA doesn't exist, with a cession of Roussillon to ENG:

### Carles de Viana

random = no
country = ARG

name = "The prince Carles de Viana"
desc = "With the new king Joan II (John II in english), the 
confrontation between the king and the oligarchy went on, 
reaching new heights. Carles de Viana was the son of the king 
Joan II. By 1450 there had already been various problems 
between father and son, which led the king, in 1456, to 
dispossess his son of his inheritance. But Carles won some 
support in Sicily and among the members of the Parliament, and 
the king imprisoned him in Barcelona in 1460. The Corts held in 
Lleida in the same year, dominated by the oligarchy, who 
opposed the king and supported the prince Carles, entrusted the 
Generalitat (permanent delegation of the Corts) the raising of an 
army in order to eventually fight the king in case he didn't accept 
their reivindications."

the king' went to the king's wife, Juana Enríquez, a faithful 
supporter of the royalist cause. The relation with the Corts 
became more difficult than ever as the queen worked hard to 
restablish royalist power. The Corts and the Generalitat, afraid of 
possible reprisals against them for the previous events, began a 
persecution of royalist supporters and raised an army, with which 
they besieged the city of Girona, where the queen and her son

### End of alternative civil war, not existing FRA
[/color]
And, obviously, I've added the corresponding triggers in the previous events (if FRA does exist).

NOTE: Remember that you can get the txt file here
 
There is one problem with the Catalan names (well whether it's a problem or not depends on your point of view). As I understand it, if Aragon becomes Spain it will keep the Cataln names, not the Spanish ones. While the historical leaders will have the Spanish names. I don't see this as being enough of a reason not to have Catalan names.


for 171408 as written the event will happen if France doesn't exist. This may not be such a bad thing, as all that means is that Aragon gets the 150d for free, but it leaves open the possibility that France forms between 1462 and 1492, gains Roussillon whether as an initial revolter or by conquest from someone other than Aragon, and then has to cede it to Aragon anyway.

That's what I initially said about the event, and I did mean it. I don't think that Aragon getting 150d for no reason at all in the rare cases where France doesn't exist is such a bad thing. I don't see that all these English events are needed (although if they are included they need ownership triggers for Rousillon). It certainly leaves open the possibility that England owns nothing anywhere near Rousillon and then procedes to lose it in a war against Provence or Castille.

I guess I should have said this initially, before you did all the work, but my suggestion on how to set this up would be:
-if France exists and Aragon owns Rousillon the event happens as written
-if France doesn't exisit or Aragon doesn't own Rousillon the exact same events happen with slightly different 'desc' fields, and without the cession of Rousillon and the cash bonus.

But if Aragon becomes Spain, then the country tag ARG is replaced by the country tag SPA, and the country tag SPA is associated with the language tag SPA, so giving spanish names, not catalan. In other words, in the "country.csv":

ARG;Gray;LightOrange;latin;CAT;MIN;MIN;MIN;7;4;5;7;5;4;5;7;0;X

-> so ARG is associated with the linguistic pool CAT (aragonese & catalan generic names)

SPA;Yellow;LightOrange;latin;SPA;SPA;MIN;MIN;7;6;1;9;6;3;6;6;0;X

-> and SPA is associated with the linguistic pool SPA (castillian generic names)

That's what I initially said about the event, and I did mean it. I don't think that Aragon getting 150d for no reason at all in the rare cases where France doesn't exist is such a bad thing.

Well, it was no so much work (only copy the events changing some tags :D), but you're right, I thought you meant an alternative set in case FRA doesn't exist. Well, I'll take a look at the events again to think about the best option. Thanks ;)
 
Well I was vague because I wanted to see what you thought before giving my opinion. Sorry.

As I understand it the tag change doesn't go back and read info in from country.csv - it transfers that info to the new tag. It doesn't change the DP sliders, I know that! But like I said, even if my interpretation is right I don't think it matter enough to worry about. So the Spanish leaders will have Catalan names. So what?

The DP settings are stored in the savegame. The leader language isn't...
 
Much better (?)

I've not updated the previous posts with the new triggers, but they are updated in the downloadable txt file.
 
Does that mean that all new leaders for Aragon-cum-Spain will have Catalan names until you reload the game? This is all pretty interesting.

I would guess so. Haven't tested, but I can imagine that is how it works.
 
I'm picturing our Catalan friends madly creating dozens of new armies before saving the game in order to keep the right names. :)

Comment on the point made in the 1.2 thread -I'd suggest skip the province line and just make the flavour events for Aragon (country = ARG). If you want to duplicate them for CAT and SPA that's probably fine too.

Yes, I've changed them that way. I thought that the "province = XXX" command fires the event for whoever owns that province, but since it seems it's buggy, I've "triplicate" these events, for ARG, CAT and SPA.
 
This thread has gone rather adrift, but I'd like to bring up a few of the points mentioned earlier, and some ideas slightly poached from the AGC discussion. (I'm not bringing up Isabella's Portuguese wedding because I don't like it. Someone else can push that).
-Aragon capital to Barcelona. Let's do it!
-Aragon CB on Corsica. Based on earlier posts it seems like it makes sense.
-Maybe Aragon temporary CB on Athens
-New Aragon AI. I stole this from the AGC thread, but it's been around a long time. From Alatriste
Code:
[color=white]
#From Alatriste
# 
# Europa Universalis. For Aragon 
# 

# 
# preferred areas for colonization 
# 
region = { carribean "west africa" "central america" "southern europe" } 
areas = { Florida } 

# The amount of provinces we try to colonize at the same time 
expansion = 3 

# % of the time we prefer to establish a tradingpost if both are good. 
tradingpost = 50 

# Bonus for areas to establish colonies adjacent to previous ones. 
neighbour = 20 

# Bonus/Penalty for establish colonies adjacent to other countries. 
enemies = 0 

# 100 = max trader rate, lesser means slower focus on sending a trader. 
traders = 100 

# 100 = Total monopolist, will refuse trade as much as possible. 
monopoly = 0 

# 100 = Total warmonger, 0 = absolute pacifist 
war = 30 

#Which countries to conquer if possible. (to guide nation historically) 
combat = { NAP NAV CAT COR TOS ATH MAN PAR PIS BYZ CYP} 
# NAP Napoli 
# NAV Navarra 
# CAT Catalunya (if revolter) 
# COR Corsica 
# TOS Firenze 
# ATH Athenes 
# MAN Mantua 
# PAR Modena (Alatriste had this one wrong) 
# PIS Siena
[/color]

The only down side I can see to this is that it will keep this AI if it becomes Spain. On the other hand it will make them less likely to go after Granada.

Right now (1.1) the 1419_cas.inc has this line:
nationalprovinces = {
427 429 430 431 432 433 435 436 437 438 439 440 443 444 445 817 821 }
I'd like to change it to
nationalprovinces = {
431 432 433 435 436 438 439 440 443 817 }
Which does two things
-removes Gibraltar and Granada. Garbon has worked out how this works in the Granada thread. Go there to see the rationale.
-removes Aragon, Valencia, Catalonia, Gerona and Balaeres. This should stop them from going crazy conquering Aragon. This idea has been kicking around for a while, I've roughly stolen it from txini on the AGC thread. But I prefer a more conservative approach to Viva Espana

This does three things
-adds the Aragonese shields back in. These could be added in the Iberian Wedding event, but IF Castille has vassalized Aragon that won't come off. I'm too lazy to rewrite all those events to add the shields then. At least we know Viva Espana will happen.
-by having two event the odds that the AI won't become Spain are now 0.3% It will happen EXTREMELY rarely.
-adds the atwar trigger to get around the problem of foreign owned provinces when the tag changes
I'd like to think about whether Spain ought to get more of Aragon's shields (I do not like txini's idea of giving them Italian culture) My thought being that Sardinia, Sicily and Messina might be justified.

edit: Added in the atwar trigger

edit2: Someone (sorry) had a nice scheme for giving the Canary shield by an event, so maybe that shield (817) should be removed at the start too.

The only down side I can see to this is that it will keep this AI if it becomes Spain. On the other hand it will make them less likely to go after Granada.
I've never seen the AI Aragon actually become Spain. It won't be much of a problem...
 
Yeah, we're repeating ourselves aren't we. Let's just change the AI.

Other Spanish issues
-Add an atwar trigger to Viva Espana (I'll edit this into my prior post). The country cammand causes you to lose any non-controlled provinces when it fires
-I'm thinking of changing my Ferdinand the Catholic Regent of Castille event to incorporate it into the treaty of Blois(?) which divided Naples between Louis XII and Ferdiannd the Catholic. I will slightly rework the Catholic League and League of Cambrai events too.
-I'd like to add TUN to the Spanish AI to get them to do something in North Africa. Possibly an event could do this, but Spain already has a CB on them.

-Consider adding more Aragon shields when Spain inherits Aragon, and Castillian shields when Spain inherits Castille.
-look at txini's monarchs from a few pages back.
-Move the capital? I'm still not sure where it should start out because Valladolid had a lot of the admintrative structure if I remember correctly
-Give Navarre a chance to become Spain (don't think I like it)
-Try to bring in Amidas de Gaula's work. There some great ideas there, but he wants to fundamentally rework Spains DPs, and it's got to be a lot of work. I may end up just pulling flavour events.

SPAIN COLONIAL EVENTS

The SpanishColonial America is a bit boring in events. So I've decided to (try to) add some ones. Right now I've done events only for the 18th century, when some measures were taken to improve productivity and trade, tightening state control (measures usually not well received by creoles (sp?) and spaniard living in the colonies).

I begin with some revolt events:

Code:
[color=white]
### Comuneros de Paraguay 1718

event = {
id = 171902
trigger = { owned = {province = 216 data = -1}
		domestic = {type = serfdom value = 4}
		domestic = {type = centralization value = 4} 
		NOT = { domestic = {type = serfdom value = 9} } }
random = no
country = SPA

name = "The 'comuneros' of Paraguay"
desc = "The revolt of the 'comuneros' of Paraguay in 1718 was a 
reaction of creoles and spaniards against the governor of 
Asunción, who supported the jesuit missions. These jesuit 
missions were accused by creoles and spaniards of holding the 
best lands and of reducing manpower because the reduced 
labour hours they imposed on the natives. In real history the 
revolt lasted until 1735, when a native army under the 
commandement of the jesuits, defeated the 'comuneros'."

style = 4
date = {day = 1 month = march year = 1718}
offset = 60
deathdate = date = {day = 1 month = march year = 1720}

action_a = {name = "Damn !"
		command = {type = revolt which = 216}
		command = {type = revolt which = 216}
		}
}

### La rebelión en Venezuela 1749

event = {
id = 171903
trigger = { owned = {province = 154 data = -1}
		domestic = {type = serfdom value = 3}
		domestic = {type = centralization value = 4} }
random = no
country = SPA

name = "The revolt of Venezuela in 1749"
desc = "The revolt of Venezuela in 1749 was targeted against 
the 'Compañía Guipuzcoana de Caracas', a monopolistic company 
created in 1728 for trading with venezuelan cacao, leather and 
tobacco. The leader of the revolt was Juan Francisco de León and 
united some thousand farmers against the company's traders. 
The revolters captured Caracas, but the revolt was finally  
crushed."

style = 4
date = {day = 1 month = march year = 1749}
offset = 60
deathdate = date = {day = 1 month = march year = 1750}

action_a = {name = "Crush the revolters"
		command = {type = revolt which = 154}
		command = {type = revolt which = 154}
		command = {type = provincetax which = 154 value = 1}  ## state monopoly
		}
action_b = {name = "Allow free trade in Venezuela"
		command = {type = domestic which = mercantilism value = -1}  ## free trade
		command = {type = province_revoltrisk which = 154 value = -1}
		}
}



### Tupac Amaru

event = {
id = 171904
trigger = { owned = {province = 169 data = -1}
		OR = { owned = {province = 170 data = -1}
			 owned = {province = 193 data = -1}
			 owned = {province = 194 data = -1} }
		domestic = {type = serfdom value = 3}
		domestic = {type = centralization value = 4} }
random = no
country = SPA

name = "Tupac Amaru's revolt"
desc = "In november 1780 José Gabriel Condorcanqui, best 
known as Tupac Amaru, rallied all the peruvian natives in a never-
seen revolt against the governors. The cause of the revolt was 
the governor and 'corregidores' impositions, abuses and bad 
policies. Among the exigences of Tupac Amaru there were the 
abolition of customs, the abolition of the 'corregidores' and the 
appointment of native mayors in native-populated provinces and 
towns."

style = 4
date = {day = 4 month = november year = 1780}
offset = 10
deathdate = date = {day = 1 month = march year = 1781}

action_a = {name = "Crush the revolt"

		command = {type = revolt which = 193}

		command = {type = revolt which = 167}
		}
action_b = {name = "Accept Tupac Amaru's exigences"
		command = {type = domestic which = centralization value = -2}
		command = {type = provincetax which = 169 value = -1}  ## customs suppressed
	command = {type = stability value = -1}
		}
}

NOTE: The english descriptions need an improvement, I've written them (translated from spanish) very quickly.
 
And now two political events:

Code:

			 owned = {province = 139 data = -1}
			}
		}
random = no
country = SPA

name = "American trade"
desc = "In 1778 Carlos III of Spain allowed trade with the 
american colonies from any spanish harbour, and not only from 
the Cádiz harbour, which until then had the monopoly (and which 
Sevilla had until 1717). This fact stimulated many mediterranean 
and cantabric traders to begin their colonial trading adventures 
and allowing goods and money to arrive to those cities that 
embraced enthusiastically the new policies."

style = 4
date = {day = 1 month = march year = 1778}

BTW, shouldn't Roussillon be turned Iberian? Is there any serious reason why it has to be French? I don't really think so; it was an integral part of Catalonia, and as such should have the same culture as the other catalonian province (i.e. at the moment Iberian, and could be occitan or catalan if these cultures were introduced)
What about Isaac Brock's suggestions and Amada de Gaula's events? It would be a pity if they were completely neglected.
