Help, Britain can't conquer Germany!

[unmerged(26044)]

Started a GC game of Vic as Britain, and just for fun I wanted to explore the possibilities of declaring war right away on Prussia, to take the Rhineland and Westphalia from them and give it to Hannover for the two long-term goals of opposing Prussian hegemony and having a strong German ally. (This would never happen for real, but never mind.)

I end up at war with Austria and most of the German minors as well, no surprise. (But France, Russia and other non-German powers stay out, that IS a surprise.) But every time I annex a German Minor I give it to Hannover, which is neutral in this fight, so the German Alliance can't take it back.

So my biggest worry is to build up enough British Army of the Rhine to conquer the western Prussian territory before enough German reserves are called up to stop me. I never get the chance, though, because the "Queen Victoria Takes The Throne" event keeps causing a CTD!

Is this a bug in the event not to be able to deal with an Anglo-Prussian War, or is this 19th Century Germany's secret weapon?

Pretty sure this is because the Queen Vic takes the throne makes an alliance between Prussia and Hannover. Which in your circumstances would be a little bit difficult

I haven't got access to the event at work but it sounds like it needs a NOT trigger if Prussia and Hannover are at war

#########################################################################
#  Queen Victoria
#########################################################################
event = {
	id = 6901
	random = no
	country = ENG

	picture = victoria

	trigger = {
		random = 15
		OR = {
			constitution = { country = ENG type = monarchy }
			constitution = { country = ENG type = constitutional_monarchy }
		}
	NOT = {
			war = { country = HAN country = PRU }
		}

	}

	name = "EVT_6901_NAME"
	desc = "EVT_6901_DESC"
	style = 0

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1837 }
	offset = 29
	deathdate = { day = 30 month = december year = 1837 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME6901A" # Victoria Regina!
		command = { type = relation which = HAN value = 100 }
		command = { type = trigger which = 3900 }
	}
}

This should work.

I've seen soemthing similar with crimean war... it seems some triggers/commands not work everytime!
Russia gets the crimean war event and decided to go to war against ottomans but there were no war between them after that!
I don't know what's caused this but perhaps it's the "command ={ type = war which = TUR }" which don't work this time. After reloaded the crimean war starts correctly!
