Event idea for defeated nations - Reconstruction

[LiamRiordan]

After watching an anime called "Pumpkin Scissors" (pretty good btw), it gave me a better insight somewhat about the damage and scale of reconstruction needed to get a nation back on its feet. Especially for the large industrialized and populated nations. e.g. USA, West Europe, Japan.

In the KR forums I posted this code:

Code 0.31 (Working!)

event = {
    id = 850000
    random = no
    country = AST # Australasian Confederation
    style = 1
    picture = "AST_Surrender"
    date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1936 }
    offset = 7
    deathdate = { day = 31 month = december year = 1964 }
    
        trigger = {
            ispuppet = AST
        }
        
            name = "Australasian Economic Collapse"
            desc = "Our nation is battered militarily and our economy is smashed due to the loss of reliable trade partners and foreign companies leaving the nation for greener pastures.  We must do something very soon to get out of this mess.  But for now, we must count our losses and create a recovery plan of action.  It will take a week to prepare draft plans of recovery."
            
                action = {
                    ai_chance = 100
                    name = "Crikey! Draft the Recovery Plans!"
                        command = { type = dissent value = 35 } #People are angry
                        command = { type = relative_manpower value = -10 } #A lot less people signing up for the military
                        command = { type = peacetime_ic_mod value = -50 } #Economy has collapsed
                        command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 } #Initial factory losses
                        command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 }
                        command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 }
                        command = { type = extra_tc value = -10 } #Rail and naval services are damaged and disorganized
                        command = { type = construct which = infrastructure where = -1 value = -10 }
                        command = { type = construct which = infrastructure where = -1 value = -10 }
                        command = { type = construct which = infrastructure where = -1 value = -10 }
                        command = { type = construct which = infrastructure where = -1 value = -10 }
                        command = { type = max_organization which = land value = -15 } #To simulate known doctrines being ineffective and military reorganization
                        command = { type = morale which = land value = -20 } #To simulate low confidence and pride
                        command = { type = event which = 850001 where = -1 when = 7 }
                }
                action = {
                    ai_chance = 0
                    name = "Go walkabout! (TESTER)"
                        command = { }
                }
}

Improvements can be made in the triggers for the Internationale I know (for those who play KR).

With this in mind, what would be the best way to ensure reconstruction events fire for the next couple of years? Set a trigger event with an offset of 365? I think I can get this sort of event going at first, but making sure reconstruction progression events keep happening with the goal of normalcy being restored is awkward.

Can anyone give me some tips for this method?

EDIT:
Would this method work?

1. Nation liberated, trigger reconstruction decision event within 45 days
2. Reconstruction event fires, player/ai chooses path
3. Repair path event fires, triggers repeating event that fires for 5 years offset of 365
4. Final Repairs event fires and reconstruction is completed.

Is it possible to make a repeated event fire a new event after its been fired for a nation x amount of times?

You should also add some extra options like focusing on the Military and such things.

I don't think it's possible to have it repeated unless you make a descion where you can use it again and again. You can make it sleep for a year after use.

 

[LiamRiordan]

Hmm, could a nation refocus its military so soon after a defeat? I guess it could, but to some harsh penalties right?

Hmm, I've never done decision events before, how do you make it sleep for a year? I guess I could make it a "Re-investment into x" event chain.

EDIT: Added a new military action event, would something along those lines be feasible?

EDIT2: Ok, I've made my first ever decision event! I'm pretty chuffed, this one if for the UoB in KR if its ever liberated and get X amount of money.

                command = { type = add_division which = "2nd Peoples Garrison" value = garrison when = 5 }
                }
    }

I think I best add more triggers in, though I'll need to coordinate with the KR crew about 'liberation triggers' so these events can fire. Maybe just add puppet of X? Who knows.

 

[Lyrecryer]

Should you also add some Badboy as well? After all, if a nation suddenly starts to re-arm right after it was defeated then wouldn't the victorious nation be threatened?

 

[Wowwars]

I TOTALY agree with this maybe DH should add some Arma things so DH can be the leading Pdox game. and i made usa conquere th wworld in Kaiserriech in 9 years only enemies left are Mexico with 537 Divisons

command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 } #some factories lose out on repairs
command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 }
command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 }
command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 }
command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 }
command = { type = construct which = ic where = -1 value = -1 }

You permanently lose 6 ic every time this event fires? You want it to fire 8 times each year? So, minus 48 ic each year? For how long? This actually seems about as bad as the Versailles treaty. LOL.

That particular event is not annual, it is just the start, other drop offs may occur, but not permanently.
