If I've read that correctly, the Indian Revolt only happens if the British choose to expand their intelligence network (and then go to war with Afghanistan). Shouldn't that be the other way round?

The rebellion occurrs because firstly, the intelligence network wasn't expanded, therefore supposedly giving opportunity to pan-Germanic intruiges, which then happens with Afghanistan siding with the Central Powers. Muslims in India then side with their neighbours to the North West.

The Intelligence Network event, is not so much a counter to Afghanistan's alliance with Germany, but a counter to Turkey's alliance with Germany. Afghanistan's siding with the CP is merely the catalyst for the rebellion.

That's what I thought you meant. But according to this:

event = {
country = ENG
id = 56314

action_a = {
name = "Expand intelligence network"
command = { type = supplies value = -50 }
command = { type = manpower value = -15 }
command = { type = setflag which = india2 }
}

event = {
country = ENG
id = 56315
name = "Indian Rebellion"

trigger = {
flag = india2
war = { country = ENG country = AFG }
}

Choosing action a in 56314 (to expand the network) sets the flag india2 to yes. The revolt event 56315 then only triggers if flag india2 has been set. In other words, the revolt only takes place if you have chosen to expand the network. Surely the command setflag india2 should appear in action b of 56314?

Ah yes...so it should.

A possible way to link military failures with dissent could be to make events that check ownership of important national provinces. Every month (or maybe year), for every home important province a nation has lost, dissent will increase by a certain amount, maybe 1 or 2%.

Also, should the surrender of allies cause dissent? This could reflect those who think the war should be abandoned after the fall of that ally. This may cause England or US to go neutral after France and Russia are defeated, if dissent was already high enough.

Anything like that would have to make sure that dissent doesn't get out of hand. I also think it might encourage the player to solely concentrate on capturing one territory whilst neglecting the others.

I'm sure dissent increases are worth considering for the future, although I wouldn't want to force a country into neutrality (except the United States when all the other allies have been defeated)

Dreadnoughts, Prestige and the Grand Fleet

Hi guys, I couldn't find the thread for minor events but...

http://pub57.ezboard.com/falltheworldsbattlecruisersfrm1.showMessage?topicID=394.topic

Apparently the Brazilians offered their prestige white elephant dreadnoughts, Minas Gerais and Sao Paolo to the Grand Fleet but this was refused.

Anyways, in relation to this I was thinking of another naval event for ship conversions. Remember that the Canada and her sister (w/c eventually became Eagle) were originally supposed to be sold to a South American country? Well, I'm thinking that there should be an event that lets you choose what these ships will be before they're converted. This would also happen for the Courageous class as well. If you want to convert only one ship to a carrier then the historical results - HMS Canada as BB, HMS Eagle as CV (available late war). If you want both as carriers then perhaps we can have HMS Ark Royal (ex-Canada/ex-Almirante Cochrane or is it Latorre) and HMS Eagle. If both BBs then I'm thinking HMS Newfoundland for the BB name of HMS Eagle.

Just my twa cents,
Richmond

Richmond, the Metathread stickied at the top has a whole list of links to events threads. While it is fine to post that here, this thread is more for general questions about event modding.

Are there any events which simulate the Paris Gun? The trigger could be German capture of provinces adjacent to Paris. Effects would be small dissent for France and a supply cost for Germany.

I must admit, I like the sounds of this one. Only, I haven't the time to script it.

I think it should be tied in to an artillery tech value for Germany, so maybe it doesn't happen in August 1914!

Is there even a trigger that checks for tech completion? If so, then we may also want to chech for some radio related tech, since that is how German observers in Paris relayed directions to the gun.
P.S. Perhaps there could also be a WE increase for certain countries.
