Formation of Germany on MyMap

[Sir Iain]

Greetings,

I'm playing EUII on MyMap and I've tried forming Germany by playing Brandenburg. The events fired correctly and I now have the german shield, flag, a lot of extra cores and middel and upper german cultures. The problem is that nothing else happens and that I'm still Brandenburg. So I thought to check out the events for Brandenburg concerning ther formating of Germany. The following is the last part of "the Imperial Diet at Augburg"

action_a = {
name = "Germany shall stand strong"
command = { type = flagname which = GERMAN }
command = { type = add_countryculture which = guajiro }
command = { type = add_countryculture which = dyola }
command = { type = vp value = 100 }
command = { type = domestic which = aristocracy value = 2 }
command = { type = domestic which = centralization value = -9 }
command = { type = addcore which = 347 } #Würzburg ##Bavarian circle
command = { type = addcore which = 348 } #Ansbach
command = { type = addcore which = 349 } #Bavaria
command = { type = addcore which = 1969 }
command = { type = addcore which = 305 } #Mecklenburg ##Lower Saxon circle
command = { type = addcore which = 1403 }
command = { type = addcore which = 306 } #Holstein
command = { type = addcore which = 310 } #Hannover
command = { type = addcore which = 280 }
command = { type = addcore which = 336 } #Bremen
command = { type = addcore which = 1981 }
command = { type = addcore which = 333 } #Hessen ##Upper Rhenish circle
command = { type = addcore which = 374 } #Alsace
command = { type = addcore which = 375 } #Lorraine
command = { type = addcore which = 405 } #Savoie
command = { type = addcore which = 423 }
command = { type = addcore which = 918 }
command = { type = addcore which = 923 }
command = { type = addcore which = 976 }
command = { type = addcore which = 372 } #Würtemberg ##Swabian circle
command = { type = addcore which = 373 } #Baden
command = { type = addcore which = 1968 }
command = { type = addcore which = 334 } #Münster ##Westphalian circle
command = { type = addcore which = 335 } #Oldenburg
command = { type = addcore which = 343 } #Kleves
command = { type = addcore which = 1978 }
command = { type = addcore which = 839 }
command = { type = addcore which = 925 }
}
}

What's strange here is that unlike with Muscovy becoming Russia there is no

command = { type = country which = RUS }

tag.
I suppose there should be a command tag to become GER somewhere. There is a MyMAP_Specific_Germany.eue file wich have country = GER in the trigger. I could just add the

command = { type = country which = GER

to the the Augsburg event but... Germiyan in Turkey already uses the GER country tag.

I was hoping anybody could help me fix this...

You ought to check whether there's another Germany tag in revolt.txt or in the eventfile for Germany, if there's any. But I think it turned out better this way. You will still have events, leaders and be able to become Prussia and expand in the Baltic.

 

[Sir Iain]

Well, gameplay wise it is indeed better, but I'd really like to change history, instead of becoming a HUGE Prussia.

I don't exactly know what you mean by checking in the revolt.txt for another Germany. The Revolter GER is Germiyan in Turkey. It's stopped revolting in 1490, bu no sure what to do with that information. The country tag listed in the events for Germany is always GER.

Thanks in advance,

Sir Iain

I think you don't become Germany in MyMap. You just change flag and shield but not the name. In return you will still get events of the original country.

Not sure it was the best decision but changing tag is a problem with events to be written for the used tag (based on historical ones of the area or pure fantasy) and it can be a very hard and/or consuming time work.
