This is a major upload, one which takes us a really big step toward releasing 1.0 . I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (no, it's not an oncoming train).
It leaves us with just three main jobs. The first is to add the standard reformation events for the german minors and for the Union of Kalmar. The second is to review the Union for Interregnum-ness and add the Explorer events and the final one is to add the anti-pope cycle. That, and a few little bits and pieces I've been meaning to add and adjust.
Thanks especially this week to mikl. Much ripe fruit from his hard labours.
Bughunting
Added the dormant = yes commands to the Ruthenian leaders file to prevent the game crashing when you form Ruthenia.
Changed the events, monarch dates and some of the numbers in the Savoy/Guyenne/French inheritance of Languedoc so that it works properly (hopefully.
Housekeeping
Removed the land bridges between Eire and Scotland and Kent and Calais.
Added Cymric (Welsh) and Sardinian cultures instead of using unique, as we have the spare cultures.
Bavaria
Many new key events from mikl, the Germania cycle, in which a new state outside the Holy Roman Empire is created, if Bavarians successful in the Crusade, or are a large enough state. Also revised Inquisition events and dutch revolt events, linking some to the Holland file. Revised their leaders to not be so goddam overwhelmingly good, and Albrecht der Weise's heir is now strong militarily but otherwise hopeless.
Added the conquistador and explorer events and many new ais for Bavaria.
Downgraded the unparalleled quality of Bavarian monarchs. I'd never really looked before. Scary and sickening!
Eire
Altered certain event triggers to account for Eire colonizing the Caribbean instead of Acadie.
Epochal_Iberian
More additions and changes from mikl, mostly revising existing events for added quality. Critically, added that the crusade sequence will kick off as long as Cordoba owns any of its mid-Iberian startring province. Thus, the crusade only doesn't happen if bavaria is already at war with Cordoba, Asturias exists or Cordoba has been smashed already.
Epochal_Religious
Clarifications to the protestant events, additional events for the reformation effects in bavaria and Papal States (I think) and the first of the new Reformation events for the non-Bavarian states, in this case Swabia. Others to follow.
Finland
Rebuilt many events, altering the text and the effects to Interregnum-ize them. The opening regent event now works differently. More significantly, rebuilt the rautakoura regency event sequences to be a little more logical and a little tougher as well. Also made Rautakoura a rebellion event if there is no Finland during that period (1618 to 1642).
Added the House of Nobles event and the Formation of the Neuvosto event, both of which begin the process of formalizing relationships in Finland and ill lead to some later (not written) ealry 'democracy' events. maybe an English-style civil war.
If Finland conquers Russia and gets Russian culture and cores, it drops to orthodox tech.
Added an event called the Lalaivu Doctrine in which Finland can opt to develop a policy and ships based on swift and manouverable vessels over those with firepower. If so, they gain the Lalaivu Elite units, which are 3/1/3 leaders until 1820.
Removed the Creation of a National Bank event and created a new random event for the same concept.
Added the explorer conquistador events and ais to help propel them.
Germania
Created from a crusade-winning Bavaria. Added the flag sets and duplicate events that come after 1510 from the bavarian file, the same leaders, monarchs etc.
Hansa
Some minor tweaking my mikl and MattyG.
Holland
Revised some links to Bavarian events and added tax increses to dutch provinces upon independence.
Mali
Added events for Morocco, Tlemcen, Egypt and Caliphate for the effects of Mansa Musas hajj and the profundity of gold he spends and gives out. Options to tax him for additional currentcy, but either way there are inflation hits.
Maya
Simplified the religious conversion event sequence but added in the chance for it to be sunni as well, depending on whether Cordoba converts to Mutazelism or not.
Removed the Otzimo Bank events in favour of the random event for a National Bank.
Miscellaneous
Added events for the 'random' gaining of Cymric, Armenian and Sardinian cultures (all the single-province cultures), based on many prerequisites, including same religion, not at war and a minimum date.
Province_Religion
Added the events for conversion of specific german culture provinces to protestant or reformed, asuming they are not owned by one of the german states.
Random Events
Created a new event called Creation of a National Bank, which can kick in earlier than the Private Bank events and can see ongoing related random events.
Sardinia
Added Sardinia as a revolter, which can only occur up until 1540.
Wales
Renamed to Cymru and changed all text references to Cymru from Wales.
