Japanese election bug

[unmerged(28254)]

Ok,

I have tried playing 4 CONSECUTIVE games as Japan, in the Road to War scenario, using the new 1.06 patch.

So far, Japanese elections dont happen in 1937, they dont happen in 1938, they dont even happen in 1939 !

What is going on here? This is pushing coincidence.

Historically, the incident provoking the Japanese attack on China happened in 1937. I'm all for a little bit of variance on history, but this is getting downright ridiculous.

This was fine in the 1.05c patch. I could reasonably expect to be able to declare war in 37 or 38. But this 1.06 patch is ridiculous. I wanna kill Chinese not sit here until 1940 researching stuff !

Chinese sushi = good ! Need sooner Chinese sushi !!!

Edit the savegame or add an event to db\events\japan.txt. Like this for example:

#########################################################################
#  Japan Election of 1937
#########################################################################
event = { 
	id = 3860
	random = no
	country = JAP
	
	name = "ELECTION_TITLE"
	desc = "ELECTION_DESC"
	style = 0
	
	trigger = {
		government = democratic
		NOT = { 
			ispuppet = JAP 
			}
	}
	
	date = { day = 16 month = march year = 1937 }
	
	action_a = { # Become Paternal Autocrat so we can declare war more easily
		name = "ELECT_B"
		command = { type = headofgovernment which = 5010 } # Konoe Fumimaro
		command = { type = foreignminister which = 5011 }
		command = { type = armamentminister which = 5012 }
		command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 5013 }
		command = { type = dissent value = -4 }
	}
	action_b = {
		name = "ELECT_A"
		command = { type = headofgovernment which = 5014 }
		command = { type = foreignminister which = 5015 }
		command = { type = armamentminister which = 5016 }
		command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 5017 }
		command = { type = dissent value = -4 }
	}
	action_c = {
		name = "KEEPCURRENT"
		command = { type = dissent value = -6 }
	}
}

Might want to shift alignment towards Fascist with the first choice. The date is also probably not the historical date if that matters to you.

Final option: use C.O.R.E. mod. They allow the war to start using events while Japan is still Democratic (as they technically still were at the time).
