Ehrm... crying for help...

I've got a question for those of you who have the expertise and the experience of hacking in to the EU files...
I'd like to create a monarch for Norway. Not really a monarch, but instead of the silly random name, call the Norwegian monarch in the IGC "Riksråd" (something like a council of nobles and dignitaries, used to elect the kings in Norway). How would one go about getting this done?
I know there is no monarch file for Norway in the game, and I really wouldn't dare to make one...

Open the monarchs.dan file or so. Delete all entries bar one. That last slot u modify till u are staisfied with ur council. Get a unique id from somewhere (be creative), give him a name, dates, stats. Save as monarchs.nor (if that is the tag)

Merci!
I'll try that. I'd probably be wise to back up first.

Evidently. I dunno what ids are free but if necessary u can always get rid of a king somewhere, one of those who didn't last long and wasn't important.

Ya, Johan de Witt or someone.

I'd love to get rid of some of those Swedish kings... Like Charles XII.... but, then again, I wouldn't want to offend our dear neighbours, who, evidently, had some decent kings in that day and age.

Okay, I don't dare to mess with the IGC files... I just can't do it.
My knowledge of tags and IDs is non-existant. And EU Leader Editor crashes, and the patched one doesn't find "hist_events_help.txt". Bloody hell! I s'pose I'll just get smashed instead. After all, it is Saturday, and Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting, according to our friend Elton John...

I do...

Try putting this code in a file named monarchs.nor:

	}
	historicalmonarch = {
		id = { type = 6 id = 0009 }
		startdate = {
			year = <starting year>
		}
		deathdate = {
			year = <ending year>
		}
		name = "<name here>"
		DIP = ?
		MIL = ?
		ADM = ?
	}

This is for _one_ monarch. Fore more you need some research to find free IDs (or the EU Leader Editor).
