Juan Diego Sees La Virgen

[Petrarca]

Ave Maria, llena de gracìa.

Mesoamerica, the New World, 1521: The capital city of the Aztec empire falls under the Spanish forces. Less than 20 years later, 9 million of the inhabitants of the land, who professed for centuries a polytheistic and human sacrificing religion, are converted to Christianity. What happened in those times that produced such an incredible and historically unprecedented conversion?

In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 469 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin.

Since I am far too lazy to write this up in my own words, there it is. The most momentous event in the New World between 1521-1775, the appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It spread Catholicism like wildfire among the Nahuatl people. It is the perfect basis for an EEP event, something like this:

#Juan Diego sees the Virgin
event ={ 
   id = xxxxx
   trigger = { 
      owned = [27] = -1
      OR {religion which = catholic
         religion which = counterreform
   }
   random = no 
   name = "Juan Diego sees the Virgin" 
   desc = "A simple Indian, Juan Diego, has witnessed the miraculous appearance 
   of the Virgin Mary telling him to spread love and compassion.  The Nahuatl people are flocking to convert."
   date = { day = 12 month = december year = 1531 } 
   deathdate = { day = 13 month = december year = 1531 } 
   style = 2 

   action_a ={ 
      name = "This is a great miracle" 
      command = { type = conversion which = 24 value = -1} 
      command = { type = conversion which = 25 value = -1} 
      command = { type = conversion which = 26 value = -1}
      command = { type = conversion which = 27 value = -1} 
      command = { type = conversion which = 28 value = -1} 

#And the event meant for those evil nations that aren't Catholic and are in Mexico:
#Juan Diego sees the Virgin
event ={ 
   id = xxxxx
   trigger = { 
      owned = [27] = -1
      NOT { OR {religion which = catholic
         religion which = counterreform
         religion which = pagan
      }
   }
   random = no 
   name = "Juan Diego sees the Virgin" 
   desc = "A simple Indian, Juan Diego, has witnessed the miraculous appearance of 
    the Virgin Mary telling him to spread love and compassion.  This will only serve to 
   spread Catholic heresies among the natives!"
   date = { day = 12 month = december year = 1531 } 
   deathdate = { day = 13 month = december year = 1531 } 
   style = 2 

   action_a ={ 
      name = "Crush this heresy!" 
      command = { type = conversion which = 27 value = catholic} 
      command = { type = conversion which = 25 value = catholic} 
      command = { type = conversion which = 26value = catholic}
      revoltrisk which = 24 value = 4
      revoltrisk which = 25 value = 4
      revoltrisk which = 26 value = 4
      revoltrisk which = 27 value = 4
      revoltrisk which = 28 value = 4
      revoltrisk which = 29 value = 4
      revoltrisk which = 30 value = 4
      revoltrisk which = 31 value = 4
      stability which = 2 #The people at home are happy

   action_b ={ 
      name = "Proceed Cautiously"
      command = { type = conversion which = 24 value = catholic} 
      command = { type = conversion which = 25 value = catholic} 
      command = { type = conversion which = 26 value = catholic}
      command = { type = conversion which = 27 value = catholic}
      command = { type = conversion which = 28 value = catholic}
      revoltrisk which = 24 value = 2
      revoltrisk which = 25 value = 2
      revoltrisk which = 26 value = 2
      revoltrisk which = 27 value = 2
      revoltrisk which = 28 value = 2
      revoltrisk which = 29 value = 2
      revoltrisk which = 30 value = 2
      revoltrisk which = 31 value = 2

Ed.- Havard's suggestions taken. Also, made easier to look at.

Are these events ment for Spain? I don't understand 'country = -1' (...and I bet EU won't either )

It shows that this is my first time, eh? I was trying it for any Catholic country, so what would I have to do? Eliminate the country specification entirely?

Yes. If you use the owned trigger you can drop the country specification.

The first event would be:

#Juan Diego sees the Virgin 
event ={ 
    id = xxxxx 
    trigger = { 
        owned = 27 data = -1 
        OR = {
            religion = catholic 
            religion = counterreform
        }
    } 
    random = no 
    name = "Juan Diego sees the Virgin" 
    desc = "A simple Indian, Juan Diego, has witnessed the miraculous 
    appearance of the Virgin Mary telling him to spread love and compassion." 
    date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1531 }  
    deathdate = { day = 3 month = january year = 1531 } 
    style = 2 

    action_a ={ 
        name = "This is a great miracle" 
        command = { type = conversion which = 24 } 
        command = { type = conversion which = 25 } 
        command = { type = conversion which = 26 } 
        command = { type = conversion which = 27 } 
        command = { type = conversion which = 28 } 
    }
}

The second will trigger for all countries not Catholic/CRC, including pagan nations. Is that intended?

Changed according to your suggestions, also pagan countries will not trigger the event. And many thanks for the prov. #s.
