I thought we had abandoned this Free Church event, but retained it's name. I am half way through doing the Free Church events for every province in Europe. Cut paste, cut paste. Big job. Not sure where MattyG got the time to do the Protestant events. Massive.

Generally, provinces within areas of states like Hansa and Genoa get Reformed as action_a, the rest get it as action_b. The movement originates in Savoy/Occitane, and they will generally all go reformed, as well.

Swabian provinces generally ardent protestant. Bavarian and most eastern provinces ardent catholics.


Yes, it takes hours to produce events for every province. Until you have actually written material for this mod you have no idea how much time and work goes into it.

Thanks for getting this done, mikl. ;)
 
So Calvin tarts his teaching in an area of his homeland in which he feels safe, south western France. He starts in ab area of Four Cities, as follows...

#################################################################
# Savoie 405
##################################################################

event = {
id = 313
trigger = {
NOT = { domestic = { type = serfdom value = 7 } }
control = { province = 405 data = -1 }
}
random = no
province = 405
name = "The Reformed Teachings"
desc = "Jean Calvin has been accepted by the clergy and flock of a small area of southern France, promoting his God's word and has been speaking those words of drastic reform from the pulpit. He preaches an outrageous interpretation of the bible that is stricter than even the reformists of Rome, and pays little respect to the Papal leadersip. He also advocates the running of local affairs of state accordingly, in addition to meddling in the affairs of men. This is however increasingly accepted by the people and some nobles. What shall we do?"
date = { day = 1 month = october year = 1520 }
offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 1 month = october year = 1540 }

action_a = {
name = " Allow his teachings "
command = { type = provincereligion which = 405 value = reformed }
command = { type = DIP which = -1 value = 24 }
command = { type = stability value = 1 }
}
action_b = {
name = " Kill this man "
command = { type = revolt which = 405 }
command = { type = revoltrisk which = 12 value = 2 }
command = { type = stability value = -1 }
command = { type = trigger which = 301 }
}
action_c = {
name = " This is too far, send this man away. "
command = { type = revolt which = 405 }
command = { type = revoltrisk which = 12 value = 1 }
}
}


Then success in 3 or more of those provinces kick starts the religion, (setflag = 2) is murdered (sleepevent 101 and thus Reformed religion) or is discouraged by the lack of interest (ditto)


event = {
id = 301
random = no
trigger = { }
name = "Jean Calvin Murdered"
desc = "Having barely begun his ministry in south eastern France, Jean Calvin was murdered by catholic nobles. A religious movement faltered before it had really begun."

action_a = {
name = "We will not mourn this extremist."
command = { type = sleepevent which = 101 }
command = { type = sleepevent which = 302 }
command = { type = clrflag which = 2 }
}
}



event = {
id = 302
random = no
trigger = {
OR = {

provincereligion = { province = 405 data = reformed } #Savoie
provincereligion = { province = 406 data = reformed } #Provence

}
}
name = "The Free Church Movement"
desc = "Desite ( or because of) papal mistrust, Jean Calvin's teachings had taken hold in southern french territories of Occitane and Savoy, and the Free Church Movement began to spread across Europe.

Protestant nations may now convert to Reformed Christians thereby increasing their long term tax incomes."
