Idea: Adding leaders via Decision event from a 'dummy' nation

[LiamRiordan]

So I'm unsure if this is possible, if so how to implement it but here goes.

With this idea, a TAG is used, but it never really seen in-game. Think of it in name, as Mercenaries. This nation would have a good source of leaders that can be 'hired' in-game via event for a cash sum. Which randomly selects a couple of leaders from the Mercenary leader list, and then adds them to the paying nation.

The goal of this idea is to add more leaders to region and minor powers to attempt to remove the penalty for military goals with small nations.

E.g. "Hire some mercenary leaders to lead our forces!" - Randomly selects three leaders from the Mercenary pool and adds it to the national leader pool.


One idea I also would like to try out in conjunction with this, is the idea of adding a couple of defeated nation leaders to the Mercenary leader pool.

E.g. If Poland gets annexed, up to five leaders from its leader pool gets distributed into the Mercenary pool.


So, is any of this possible?

A steal parameter exists for scenarios. Not sure if it works as an event effect.

Otherwise, you would simply add the same leaders to each country's leaders and have them be "woken" by the event.

Hmm, I was assuming that is could be possible due to the Austria-Germany leader transfer in the Anchluss

Use this
type = add_corps which = [name] value = [land/air/naval] when = [leader ID] where = [province_ID]
and insert wished leader. This workaround will create an empty corp which will disappear the next hour, but the leader will go into your pool.

Ah cheers, I'll try and give this a go soon.

Why not let Nations with IC under 60 or 40 ask great powers ( left wings ---> su, democraties --> gb or france nationalists ---germany ) for a military missions like the germans had in china, bringing several benifits like +2 org for all, some leaders of the great power and blue prints.
the great power would lose some leaders but get money. or they choose to make it for free because of good allys bringing even better relations.
