Incorporation of Prussia event

[unmerged(56970)]

The event Incorporation of Prussia for Brandenburg is suppose to change Memel and Prussia to German culture but it only changes Memel.

Are you sure? The event options both certainly contain the right command to change both:

command = { type = provinceculture which = 289 value = german }
command = { type = provinceculture which = 290 value = german }

Are you playing straight EU2 1.09, with no mods or edits? Does it matter whether you choose option A or B? Do you have a save from just before it triggers that shows the problem?

Im playing Vanilla EU2 1.09, it didnt matter whether i choose option A or B, I had just released prussia as a vassal a few years prior in order for the event to fire, so prussia owned prussia and i owned memel.

I dont have a savegame right before it, but i do have one right after it where u can see in log i choose the event. I can paly up to the event again if needed.

i think the problem might have something to do with prussias vassal status to me or that i own memel.

prussia owned prussia and i owned memel.

That is likely the problem. Don't province-affecting commands normally only affect provinces owned (controlled?) by the event receiver?

Perhaps im not good at this myself, but it seems that the event is only able to cope with one owner, so if the land is partially divided between 2 nations only one of the sides gets converted.

by the way that quote in ur signature is not a benjamin franklin quote.

You could try changing the ownership of Prussia to yourself and running the event again. If that works, then it's simply a limitation of the provinceculture command.

I'm pretty sure most similar commands don't work on provinces that the event receiver doesn't own or control. And why should it change culture if you aren't "incorporating" that province into Brandenburg? Seems WaD to me.

by the way that quote in ur signature is not a benjamin franklin quote.

Evidence? From wikipedia:

The quote is taken from, "An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania," first published anonymously in London in 1759. The quote is an excerpt from a letter written in 1755 from the Assembly to the Governor of Pennsylvania.

Benjamin Franklin did publish the edition printed in Philadelphia in 1812, and most likely the original, but denies writing any part of it. The quote, however, may have originated from Franklin and been excerpted for the book by the author.

So hasn't been proved to be Franklin but it hasn't been proved otherwise either and it is widely attributed to him.

The solution would be to also make an culture change command in the prussian part of the event chain then.

"I did not say that quote in jdrou's Signature" - Benjamin Franklin
it may have originated from him, that but u cannot prove he didnt say it either and its widely attributed to him by me.

Looks like a timing problem. Even though that event causes you to inherit Prussia, the commands to change the provinces are probably checking their conditions before that inheritance takes effect so the Prussia province doesn't change. Putting the provinceculture commands in PRU_3517 choice A would probably be the best solution. Presumably Prussia didn't exist between 1524 and 1540 in your game because if it did the "Prussia become Polish Duchy" event would have already made this province German. That could be why this hasn't been reported before.

prussia rarely exists at that time in my games, this time i just happened to own the lands and released them right before the incooperation event.
